Ground Control Coil-Overs
Hey guys...I just recently got into autocrossing and I'm going to do suspension (coil overs and shocks) to my 89 Civic Si. I've been told that Ground Control is the way to go. Also, I'm trying to decide between Tokico Illumina shocks and KYB Agx shocks...any suggestions??
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Agree with Koni recommendation for autocross. Better quality internals/craftsmanship, better valving, and can be custom-valved/rebuilt/shortened if needed right here in the US.

Hey,
Thanks a lot for the responses! I'm putting serious consideration into the Koni's now... If I do go with Koni's, do I want the yellow sport shocks? And how easy are these to adjust because that's a big concern of mine...I know KYBs are very easy to adjust and the illuminas are fairly easy to adjust as well... What are other people's experiences with Koni's, KYB's, and Tokico's...
Also what about Bilstein shocks?? Anyone have an experience with those? haha I need all the help I can get!!
Thanks.

If you're going with GC's, it wouldn't hurt to send them an email describing your intentions, that way you can perhaps get a good reference for what they reccommend by way of shocks and spring rates.
