The koni yellows work very well with ground control. Ground control makes a set of springs and sleeves that are matched for the Koni.

Well, the springs that come and work with the GC kit are 2.5" I.D. The sleeves are looking like they are a tight fit around the Bilsteins. The front shocks are a little smaller than the rears, and the sleeve is made to fit it perfectly. Although they haven't been installed yet, so I can't say "perfect" just yet...but looks good to me.
