Question for those w/ Ground Control

I am thinking bout finally getting some ground control coilovers. The thing is that I have a 2003 coupe and I wanna know my options. I have gone to www.ground-control.com and it says there is like 7 different choices. I am planning to ride on stock shocks for a while, and then get konis. I guess I'll need the KONI shock adaptor?

MY QUESTION: For those that do have GCs, what is the model # or at least the # that is on the actual spring so i can use it as reference for my purchase.

NO

even if GCs were more $$ than teins or w/e, i'd still go with the GCs because they give u a bigger possible drop

i NEED answers ASAP!!!

just get the street kit. When you want to slap on some konis, you can get the adapters then.
Just call em up. They have great customer service, let them know what you are doing and they'll get you the right stuff.

You're close but wrong big permmm. I just got off the phone with a GC representative, and he told me that the 2001 2002 2003 civics all have different model #s. I have a 2003, and the part# 4532.01 will not fit. It HAS to be part# 4534.01 ( ".01" is for stock shocks, ".02" for koni inserts). thanks for all your help thou.
