Tokico blues and Ground Control Sleeves

Hey guys,

Originally I wanted to rock Koni Yellows with Ground Control sleeves. I know that isn't possible and not going to happen sadly. I've never been so mad at Koni for that move. I really like the Koni yellows for being adjustable and the lifetime warranty on those suckers. Is there anything comparable? I know the Civics and Integra boys loves em.

I have been thinking about doing Tokico blues and ground control sleeves on my 2007 Fit. She has 163,000km on her and is my daily driver. I wanna close up the wheel gap real nice. Any thoughts on this set up and if I will get a nice low look on my Fit?

Thanks for the reply. Those look cool but not really what I was going for. Not a fan of coilovers. I prefer sturts with GC sleeves.

The blues are just OEM replacements... so they don't pair
well with shorter firmer springs.

The Koni yellows RedShift has for the rears fit the GD no problem and have a MASSIVE impact on comfort/handling!

Hmm. So I have been doing some reading and I think I would actually be better suited with coil overs. I want adjustable cause it snows real bad here in the winter. I'm new to this game of lowering. I'm currently on GSR blades which are 15 inch rims. I want the car to sit nice a low but do not want to sacrifice performance that bad. I would like a nice low look with improved performance in handling some what while being comfortable for a daily driver. I drive a lot for work between courts and don't wanna be bouncing around real hard.

I was looking at function and form type 2 or the buddy club n+. My next concern is how long will these coil overs last? I don't want to have to rebuild them at 50,000km as the monotubes require.
