Depends what shocks you want to use. Ground controls are compatible with alot of shocks, look them up, with a specific one for konis.

Not too sure if skunk2 is that compatible.

Are you looking to keep the tokico shocks and just buy some sleeves or do you want a better suspension upgrade by getting better shocks and springs?

Oh yah and what are your goals, you need to list those.

the Tokico are brand new so I dont want to get rid of them. and they ride pretty good on the EK right now it's not bad that's why I wanted to get the sleeves. it's either that or I get something else. I seen some blox setup for the ek but I've never used blox .

Blox are crap. With the choices you are throwing up I am going to guess you are trying to stay low budget or you don't know any better.

WHat are your goals for the car? YOu STILL have not answered that question.

You plan on slamming it?

I'm on somewhat of a budget right I just want to get rid of these cut springs for now. Eventually the car will just be a daily driver maybe something else in the future. for now like I said I just want to get rid of the cut springs.

If you're just looking for just sleeves then get a Ground Control kit. Eff that Skunk2 stuff.
