do you need new shocks with ground controls? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #23916 11 posts Started by Mike
I was thinking of getting ground control coilovers, that way i could lower the rideheight in the summer and put it back up to stock in the winter, do you guys think i should replace my shocks if i get coilovers?

It might be a good idea to search these topics you keep asking about so you dont get flamed. If you get coilovers, youre probably gonna slam it as far as you can, and that will blow youre stock gr2's easily, and maybe even blow them if you get new ones.

ummm doesn't have gr2 stock >wink.gif>

yes if you get ground control you will need new shocks
and get kyb gr2 and you'll be fine
if you have the money get koni yellow but they arn't needed

i'm complety dropped on arospeed coils with kyb gr2 and i'm fine
gr2s are oem replacement
I agree, the GR2's are OEM replacements.
I have ground controls on stock struts, I think only one is blown but that is from a prior thing, (I say "I think" because i know its blown but it stilll rides fine) the ride is just fine with stock struts they have not blown due to the hight (to my suprise) but its a good idea to get new ones anyway.

and yes kyb's are nothing more then good OEM replacements.

KYB are OEM replacements as they make them for Toyota.
