It seems more like you need a true coilover kit rather than sleeved coilovers. I am not sure why you mentioned your front struts, but if they are blown or you are worried about them blowing then GC nor Skunk2 will do you any good. They are just sleeved coilovers. I haven't heard anything bad about either, but front what I read GC is probably better. I don't think you can go wrong with either. If you are looking for coilovers with struts then you have a few choices from Tein, B & G, and a few others.

Rep Power: 412 Like i said, if you get a true coilover kit (Tein, B & G, etc) your take your stock shocks/struts out and they are completely replaced. You can wait for the HR Cup Kit (matched shocks and springs) or tein Basic damper (cheaper version of their full coilover kits) If you get sleeved coilovers like GC or Skunk then yes they might go again. You can wait for Tokico or Kyb if you want shocks.
