Which would be the setup for a autox/daily driven car? Im pretty set on the GCs, but not so much on the shocks.

I have experience with KYB AGX shocks with GC coilovers on my FC.

KYB AGX shocks are nothing more than fancy stock replacement shocks. They are not meant to handle the higher spring rates. In just a few hard laps on a road course the front KYBs would go to crap. I imagine they were overheating, although I never pulled a temp reading from them.

Look into spending the extra $$ on the Koni's.
