coilover sleeves with shocks?

is it possible to use shocks such as koni's with coilover sleeves such as skunk2's? or do you have to use just regular lowering springs with the shocks?

no you can use konis with coilover, though I think you will have to modify a few things to get them to work together well. That is with skunks and GC's, but yes, it can be done. alot of hardcore racers (autox) used sleeved coils with konis.

i haven't heard of any that you can use without modifying it a little bit, but GC and Skunk are the only ones you should go with and if you don't want to modify it to fit then all i can say is true coilovers!

GC are the only ones that fit Koni shocks. GC make two different modes for our rides. One that the sleeve is bigger so it fits the Konis and one that has the smaller sleeves that fit stock.

OH I use to have Konis and GC on my last coupe. Great setup. Goot ride and great handling.
