and you will also have to find a way to secure the brake line with koni shocks. i removed the brake line bracket (yes it's a seperate piece), from the stock (front) shocks, and set them onto the konis. (edit: which you're actually supposed to do, that bracket also keeps the lower fork in place). again, i'm not sure how this sets up with the GC sleeves.
You can't reuse the stock dust boots for Ground Controls. Here is a link to a
creative way to make your own dust boots that are compatible with GC:

I don't run any dust cover. I don't see a need for it. Also, to add, the bump stop needs to be cut in half and the rubber spring seat on the tophat needs to be replaced with a polyurethane piece supplied with the coilovers.
If you still have stock shocks, here is a link showing you how to reuse the stock brake line bracket:
http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/1106020. It isn't absolutely necessary...zip ties work just fine. The fork is held with a pinch bolt that isn't dependent on whether the brake line bracket is there or not.
