Douche Canoe
I need to add I am actually running the 1.5 suspension kit from FM. This includes the FM upper shock mounts. The ride is great and handling is awsome.

Exactly as I have and did. In hind sight I'd waited to get the Flex but I already had the AGX and FM gave me a great deal on the GC after having to send back 2 sets of their first gen NA springs.
If you want a fairly stock ride then just replace the shocks with either the AGX so you can stiffen them if you do an autoX or the Koni's for the same reason plus they do have a little bit of height adjustment with the perches. Otherwise you'd be spending say ~$300-400 for the shocks and ~ another $200 for springs making it around half the price of a nice coilover set, in which I'd say save up an extra month and do it right with the coilovers such as the Tein Flex.
