I can definitely suggest looking into different bump stops (or just trimming them, as 1and1 mentioned). The Konis are fantastic shocks, but you'd need a radically stiff spring to make them work at that low a ride height, with unmodified bump stops.

For the rear, you can get Dinan (if they still make them) rear upper shock mounts, which buy you another centimeter of travel in the rear before hitting the stop (which isn't as hard a stop as the front, since the stock suspension was designed to ride on them), or, just trim the bump stop.

There are also OE-ish solutions, some people will use bump stops from various M cars... Suprgnat may have some insight into that
