Default Shocks/Struts for Ground Control Coilvers

I had a set of ground control coilvers that I bought and installed with my stock struts, now I feel its time to upgrade. I wanted to know what would be the best shocks/struts to go with the coilovers. I want the ride to be just like stock or better. Also I wanted to know would having adjustable shocks be better than non adjustable shocks? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Get the adapter for Koni Yellows or Blisten. Koni will give you adj. and let you lower it to close to stock ride quality. From what I heard Blisten is pretty good too.... if you're on a budget, most pple will swear by KYB AGX

those are all good above but u could also go w/ koni reds. they aren't as pricey and still give a good ride i think. it all depends on what ur budget is.

I have the ground controol coilovers and tokiko blues. i like the set up but it is not stock ride quality. i dont like my car to have any body roll and i slammed the shiz out of it, but it handles alot better.

Stock GC rates? Go with Koni Reds. GC sells a "koni yellow" set that have higher springrates than the normal/special edition version; the latter is designed to be used with most aftermarket shocks.

I got KYB's and they r awsome, as good as koni yellows if you ask me, plus alot simpler to adjust If you set it up right it rides just like stock, i had my teg lowered about 2' in frot and 1.6 or so in the back and it acually was better ride than stock lol, but now that i raise it for winter it feels weird lol
I guess wants you go low you never come back
