yes GC's can be used on other struts, but not with the best results. I've rode in a few GC equipped cars riding on stock svt struts and the other was I believe kyb's. They rode like garbage. I run Konis with my gC's and it rides nice and firm.
Where exactly do you want more ground clearance? Front and rear or just the rear? I need a little more info..I'm kinda lost excuse my lazy mind.
Thanks!
I need to raise the rear end, the front is fine and I make it over most road terrain fine. When I load down the car with people it is a lot lower in the rear and it looks off balance. Whenthere is no load the front end is just slightly higher but it still looks ok. I guess I need about a 1/2 in the rear. I'd take 3/4" because I know when it was loaded it would look equal height with the front. I also like the slightly raked look with the rear a 1/2" higher than the front.
The only thing I can think of is find a rubber insulator seat or maybe use some good quality hose on the bottom and top coils to gain a little more height.
Or the ground controls.
What do you think?
have you thought about H&R springs. I know they'll have the "raked" look but with stereo equipment and a load of people I'm sure they'd ride closer to level? I had them but I wasn't pleased with the look and I wanted it lower all around 
Otherwise run GC's and you'll have full height adjustment all around. It is nice to know you can adjust the ride height depending on the conditions. Also I'm not seeing GC's agging in the raer no matter how many people you pile in there. Those fuggers are stiff!!! Thats why I'd reccommmend Konis with the package. The piece of mind to know that Konis are rebuildable is nice too.
