Default gc coilover installation

right now im running stock shocks and i wanna get some gc coils for it but i heard you need to do some special modding/welding for it to work with the stock shocks

and i wanted to buy some konis later which is why i asked, i dont wanna cut something off my coilovers or weld them on there and worry about cutting and cleaning it up later

no welding or cutting with stock shocks at all.

i just wouldnt run the springs they give you with stock shocks. order custom rates on the order of 250/150 or something.

Honestly, if your going to get Konis later, I would have to recomend you wait and buy the GCs at the same time. That way you can order the Koni specific Ground Control Sleeves ("baby tubes"). They are much better than the adapter rings & sleeves you will have to purchase later when you try to transfer your regular GCs to the Konis. It will save you money, and will look much cleaner.
