ground control coilovers

I have a set of gc coilovers on my 99 max with tokico illuminas. Well the tokicos have gone out again in the rear and I wanted to replace them with some kyb agx's. Will the kyb work for gc for tokicos? Or do I need to get different gc coilovers for a kyb?

u can make them work....u might need to drill out the hole for the top mount.....the email i got from GC told me that they were different rates...for diff. struts and like i said the top mount might need to be modified...but the illuminas are better anyway so buy new illuminas

they will work just the same. strange that your toks blew though, tokico illuminas are good struts, some say better than AGXs. I had AGXs with my GCs though, never a problem.

I keep having problems with blowing or wearing out tokicos. I dont have my car slammed all the way down. I put my stock 16's back so I lifted the coils all the way up. I have a friend with the gc with agx and he has his car lowered all the way and with no problems so thats why I wanna go with agx's. But you all say that it can be done but with little or no modifications. I spoke with gc and they said I have to get new sleeves but I dont think the guy knew what I was talking about.

Im just glad that tokico is very good about warranting struts but I hate having to replace them a lot.
