What mods need to be done to install G/C?

I was wondering what modifications need to be done to install Ground Control Coilovers on to tokico struts and shocks. Do i need to modify or cut off the Spring perches? I know G/C recommends modifying the perches to allow for more lowering ability, but is anything really neccesary? thanks.

This is really easy, but really critical...

First remove the Tokicos from the car, if they are on there.
Then, as hard as you can, pick them up and throw those pieces of **** in the trash. Next go buy some Konis or AGXs.

Then install the GCs.

Great advice and trust me i have thought all about it. I'm just running ideas through my head right now and finding out what needs to be done. I'm hoping to get the AGX for the rears and short-body threaded adjustables for the front...so yeah, i'm taking your advice. But i've been running my tok's on the stock springs so they're still stiff....for now
