No you can't. You have to use an adapter. GC used to sell them, but now they don't. Either get some made (there's a couple threads here about it) or buy the Koni specific GCs

If you want to run the non-koni GCs on Koni shocks you have to have adapters to do so. If you can't make them yourself (need a metal lathe) then you HAVE TO GET SOME MADE.

back from the dead.

I'm currently using AGX's with GC's as well with 350f/250r.

can i use my non Koni GC's with Koni threaded sleeves?

do non Koni GC springs have the same springs diameters as Koni intended GC spring kits?

will my non-Koni specific springs fit properly as far as the Koni pearches are concerned?

ok, here's my idea:

i'm planning to get this Koni/GC combo:
http://www.redshiftmotorsports...ustom

can i re-use my old non-Koni GC springs(the ones i have currently w/c are paired with the AGX's) with the kit shown above? i'm thinking of getting higher spring rates compared to what i have currently but if i find it too stiff for my DD, i can re-use my old springs.

i really appreciate any feedback. thank you.

should work, looks like they are just selling a kit of Koni shocks and GC sleeves and springs altogether for one price, which looks a touch high BTW, unless that includes shipping.

As long as they are standard 2.5" ID springs they'll work fine.

You can probably buy just the Koni sleeve from GC and reuse your perch and springs. Give them a call.
