Q regarding Ground Control sleeves

I was going to put a stage 1 cam in the car, but I'd rather have good looks than make a Really slow car just slow lol.... so as I mentioned in a thread I posted a few weeks ago I am getting my friends struts and shocks off of his 2005 RSX base, ******* I found out the struts and shocks ARE NOT factory*** not sure what they are havent seen them yet but I spoke to the guy that had them on his 2004 RSX type s and he said he couldnt remember the brand but they aren't factory which why would he lie considering I'll clearly be able to tell whether they are or not when I see them...
QUESTION--

Point being, instead of getting a stage 1 cam I was looking at getting Ground Control sleeves. Now here's my point, since RSX and Civic springs have different spring rates and since the struts and shocks were pretty much interchangeable I figured either kit I ordered would fit the strut and shock, so 2 parts:
1. Will the ground control sleeves made for the civic fit on the rsx struts and shocks
2. Which should I get?

There are like five different ground control models for our civic. There is a 50 mm and a 55 mm for the stock struts. They also have a different one specifically designed for tokicos and other Brands like kyb.

Give GC a call to find out

Re: Q regarding Ground Control sleeves

I appreciate it man, and I'm looking at everything now, something tells me the kid is on that bs and the struts are factory but idk whats up because those springs have been on those struts for over 6 months and the struts and shocks are perfectly fine so I might just end up having to sell some **** and save up some extra $ to get me some tokicos or something, but also...
I am getting brand new oem 21mm rsx-s rear sway bar and bushings, think it was $109 shipped which surprised me, and im also going to get rid of my 215/45r17s and drop down to a 205/45r17, i was considering the 205/40 but idt i want to go with that one.
