Ground Control.

check the application guide on their website. i think there's three different systems available, one for stock shocks, one for gr2's and one for agx's. Not sure, check their website. Of course you can't mix them up, each system was developed for each kind of shock.

but then again GC's are only ride height adjustable...

and i started a thread about gr2's a little earlier

Actually there's only 1 kind of GR-2. Like mez said, it's the coilover that is made to fit. GC makes them to fit, but the generic ones probably use rubber rings to center them.

If you're into street/drag, you might want to go with AGX's over GR-2's. GR-2's were designed as a mild upgrade from stock shocks. If you go lower than 1.5" the ride will suffer.

WHOA

...so you say you NEED to lower your car 3.5"? May I ask why so low? I thought this was a daily driver / drag car?

If you want to go anywhere near the low, KYB's and springs/coilovers won't work. You might need Teins, but still - the 3.5" part doesn't make sense. You might as well go airbag and forget the drag all together if you want to go that low.

And Drop Zone coilovers aren't recommended. Basically they suck. Technically, what do you expect from sub-$100.00 coilovers?

Tein Basics are ride height adjustable, but there's no dampening or stroke height adjust on them
