alright from what i can tell tockicos will only work if you limit the GC drop to like 2 inches maximum, otheriwise they'll probably blow. konis are probably the best option for GC's. sucks that they're so expensive.

On the ground control website if you go into the store, it lists a application for the tokicos. I can tell you the tokicos defenitely wont work with the skunk 2 coilovers, I made that mistake. I will be ordering the ground controls hopefully this week.

Have fun installing GC's onto a non-adjustable shock. They ride harsh/bouncy with stock shocks, and the Tokico Blue's are [somewhat] comparable to the stock shocks.

I have been riding on the tokico blues with skunk 2 regular springs for over a month now and I love it. they ride better than stock.

well i was wondering if the sleeve will fit onto the tokicos fine or would i need an adaptor like the koni's? if i need the adaptor how much and where would i purchase one.

My ground controls are on order, I was told that it will take about a week to get them in because of SEMA next week. They shouldnt need any modification or any adaptor since GC sells this setup for the tokicos but I will update when they are in.

well i have gcs now for stock shocks. i know that they make it for different shocks, but i already have the gc's on my car and i wanted to buy the tokicos. im sure ull be satisfied with the gc tokico setup. im happy with my gc's but id be 10x happier once i get new shocks but im going to call ground control today and see what they say

alright i just got outa school and called up ground control. and great news!

they said that the shock diameter of tokicos is the same as the stock shocks. so i can buy my tokicos now. im extremely happy. i was worried id have to drop more cash for the konis. and i dont really need the adjustability cuz i dont road race.

thanx for the replys people.

Thats not a question for ground control that is a question for tokico, I bought the skunk 2 coilovers and the tokico shocks would not fit through the sleeve. I called tokico and they said that there shocks are wider than the stock shocks. I would call tokico before you purchase anything.

I just went with springs that wouldnt void the warranty on the shocks. If you spend 350-370 bucks on shocks with a lifetime warranty, why do you want to void the warranty the second you install them? I went with 1.75, will sit at about 2". 1.75 is the maximum they recommend, anything else its voided since they arent supposed to be dropped like that.

i just decided to buy the shocls. i installed it with my gc sleeved coilovers for stock shocks. i got the backs on so far. imma get the fronts in later. but since backs fit fronts should too. hope this helps some people. sorry for the long delay.

running tokico blue shocks and h and r springs with 1.5 inch drop.
Dont go with tokico unless you want a hella stiff ride.
these shocks are too stiff wish they were softer
