It sucks because I want coilovers and Ground Control's only work with Stock, Sachs or Boge shocks. Not KONI or Tokico. If I get KONIs or Tokicos, I would have to get Eibach springs. Unless I can get Sachs or Boge's but I dont know if those are good and I dont want my car to feel like crap.

I dont have them. I wish. I'm trying to get info on them. I e-mailed shox.com and asked them what shocks they have available for our car that fit without modification. Tim carries Tokico's and KONI's but neither work with Ground Control coilovers and they need to be modified to fit. If I cant get Sach's or Boge's, I'll end up getting the Tokicos from Tim.

OK bad news. I just got an e-mail from shox.com and they said they have no shocks available for our car. I'm gonna e-mail Tim about the Tokicos now.

BTW, the Tokicos are not adjustable and Ground Control coilovers dont work with them. We would have to get Eibach springs. I think I might as well leave the stock shocks and get Eibach springs. I dont think a 1" drop will affect the stock shocks that bad. Maybe a little bit.
