Default What Ground Control sleeves are these?

Found these on this Facebook page for car parts. I have two Ground Control springs laying around so I figured I'd buy these for $20 and then sell them together.

I have Koni/GC laying in my room and my index finger and thumb barely touch when wrapped around the threads of the sleeve. He said on his sleeves there is about 2 inches between his index finger and thumb. Big difference. So I'm thinking they aren't for Koni's at least. On eBay I found that they could be basically for Koni or "Stock, Sachs, Boge, Tokico, KYB GR2/AGX, and GAB R/HP Shocks". So perhaps they would be for "Stock, Sachs, Boge, Tokico, KYB GR2/AGX, and GAB R/HP Shocks"?

He said they were in the back of a 94 Integra he bought. So what do you guys think?

Thanks guys.

EDIT: If someone has Ground Control sleeves on something other than Koni's and would wrap their thumb and index finger around them and see how close they are that'd be fantastic!

Looks like non-Koni specific G/C sleeves like I have on my hatch.

You should go wrap your index finger and thumb around the sleeve

When I get a chance. Hope those aren't those Ebay knock-offs that were circulating a few years back.

Thank you! Glad to see you have a nice side! Hahaha just kidding.

I'll make sure they say Ground Control on the adjustable part of the sleeve.

I just don't want them to turn out to be for a ford focus or something. Haha. I wanna know what they'll fit for sure so I'm not false advertising.

And would I be missing something to put the sleeves on a strut/shock? Isn't there like a clip-type-thing to keep the sleeve from moving?
