Suspension

I have a set of Grond Control Coilovers but no shocks/struts. Can someone let me know what do I need. I do not know if I need struts or shocks. I have a 99 se, I heard that Koni products are good. What do you guys recommend, Im hoping to go to the Stillen open house this weekend and picking some up if they have good prices. If you guys know of something better or just as good as the Koni please let me know. Also can I install the GC over my stock setup?

Re: Suspension

Koni is the way to go with GCs. They have a lifetime warranty. AGXs lose their warranty if lowered more than 1.5" I think.

Strut housings, which are in the front, hold the Koni insert. Rears don't have strut housings, just shocks.

You need the Koni yellows as posted above they only make one model in adjustables and they are yellow.

Thanks for your input...about the koni yellows, do the Ground Controls slide over the struts and shock. Also how much do yu think the install would be and and better yet how much are the shock/struts usually?
