Default Ground Controls?

my car ('01 integra gsr 2dr.) currently rides on eibach prokit and 2 konig yellows in the rear, with 2 stock shocks up front..i'm looking for a more aggressive drop and really want to start auto-x..

so, i've decided on ground controls, but i had a few questions..
1. i've heard somewhere that i'll need konig specific GC's if i want to retain the shocks i'm using right now?
2. will i be able to use the shocks that i'm using with the prokit? (2 konig yellows, 2 stock shocks)

i only plan to drop it a 2 finger/1.5 finger tire-fender...dont want to be slammed but want want like a 1.5" indrop..anyways, any help is appreciated.. thanks in advance!

well, first of all, konig is a wheel company. koni makes shocks.

you heard right. because of koni's shock design, you need koni specific sleeves from ground control. however, they used to make adaptors to properly fit non koni specific sleeves to koni. so, if you only have two koni, and 2 stock shocks (how you ended up with that combo, maybe i dont want to know) you could get away with that and buy two extra adaptors. or you could just ask for a really specific order and get two different pairs of sleeves.
