I would stay away from the AGX's since you have GC's and not drop springs. Honestly the Skunk2's look decent and they are short stroke so you can actually pre-load a little but everyone(including me) on this board will tell you if you can afford it go with the Koni yellows for the warranty and they ride really well.

If he gets Koni Sports he would have to replace the GC sleeves, as well. OP your best bet is going to be Tokico Illuminas if you want to keep your GC's. KYB GR-2's are about equal with the Tokico HP's, i.e. not good for coilovers at all.

what would ride good with the tokico shocks instead of the GC coil overs? well whats a decent set-up for a working mans price? not no $900 shocks...for daily driven and a little drag racing

I don't get your original question now. I thought you wanted to try out those Skunk2 struts? Why don't you order them since they are fairly cheap and see if your GC's fit. If they don't then order the coilovers.

i too was lost, not knowing what kind of full coilovers or mix struts/shocks and springs to get.
i didn't know anyone with aftermarket suspensions on their ride to go off of....i was in the cities and luckily a fellow eg6 owner let me ride his car.
he had koni yellow sport shocks with ground control springs....it was wonderful.
he has his set up for daily driving as i too plan on doing so.
