I've got the GC/Tokico blue combo right now and it's decent. I think GC has lower spring rates than Skunk2 so you might be better off with them.

I'd have to say GC's just from personal observance.

Depends on what you want. Non-custom rated GC's have a lower spring rate than the Skunk2's so the Skunk2's will handle better w/ the right shocks, but the GC's will give you a better ride.

well the gc are better cause they can be oredered in custom spring rates and sizes.

skunk2, imo, is better because of build and the whole double perch thing...
