It doesnt matter if you have coilovers (GC) you should have pleny of room to mount them higher on the threads.

If you mean using just the springs without the threaded sleeves, you can use them, but in that case they would be too short.

If you mean putting Ground Control threaded sleeves onto a Koni with a regular spring cup, I think something bad will happen.

GC has a specific sleeve made to fit onto a Koni-shock, but I dont know if there is an adapter for other GC sleeves to fit onto Konis.

if you do what you just discribed EXPECT to have a suspension falure. And Koni nor GC will cover it, becuse the producst were installed incorrectly.


If you search around some one thought of doin what you did with another coilover, and well as expected the mount failed.

The C-clip is not designed to work how you want to put it together.
