    Shock choices

    Hey guys I bought some ground control coilovers and not sure which shocks to get. I want koni's but don't know what size go get (50 or 55 mm). Any help would be appreciated.

    Which year is your car ? I think only 02 uses 50mm shock body. Just search it to be sure.I know its been covered before.

    Do yourself a favor. Pull a wheel and measure with a slide caliper or what have you. You can't go by year. Koni doesn't either. I assumed my '05 had 55mm but it turns out they're 50's?! You can't go wrong with Konis though - HUGE improvement both on street and track.

    It's an 03. I'm getting mixed responses on the koni's fitting the sleeves without modification. The vendor I bought them from is saying to go with the Tokico shocks.

    Tokicos will work, just not as well as the Konis performance wise. I went with Tokicos so I didn't have to deal with 50 or 55 ordeal and they've been great for me.

    That's the answer I was looking for. Thanks, I'm going to order the Tokicos then.
