need help with shocks

Hey guys, My 5th gen is lowered on Ground Controls and Im looking to buy some shocks. I was told that with GC's only a few manufactures are compatible. I know Koni yellows are one, but what are some of the other that not as pricey. I would only be commuting not racing of any sort. So if you guys can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks
Mike

I had mine lowered with lowering springs.(Big Mistake!) I went and bought from Easy street and Air lift and got air struts. They work great not hard at all to install and i can get my 5th gen about 3 to 4 inches above stock height and i can sit it on the ground. I paid 1400 for the air tank 2 pump and the struts.

If your car is only used for commuting put the stock suspension back in and sell the GC. If you still want to keep the GC then get some shocks that are able to handle the drop and spring rates such as the Koni Yellows and/or Bilsteins.
