me and regime put XeroX's GC coilovers on agx few months ago in san jose... the overall ride quality is really stiff...

i wouldn't recomment gr2 shocks for GCs, it's too weak to handle ground controls... eventually the shocks will blown out.

DONT get gr2, it would be like riding on GC with stock struts.
I have that setup and i LOVE IT. It is stiff, but not horrible. I like it because I can take insane turns at 60MPH.

Don't get GR2s with GC, you will blow the GR2s in a year or maybe two.

AGX and GC are not bad, very stiff, but the damping is up to par at least.

I am going with G/C and AGX this spring and I expect a very stiff ride.

with GC's, what strut would give me a decent ride? or can the AGX's be dialed out to be softer on the ride?

The stiffness of the springs is what controls ride stiffness primarily. Strut choice has very little to do with it. You can get softer springs with your GCs if you order direct from ground control.
