Last note, the performance shocks are decent but can be expensive compared to a set of Konis....just food for thought.

Thanks for the advice. Ya I don't want to drop it or anything, the stance is fine with me.

Which koni would you suggest, the yellow or orange? A little extra harshness is ok but prefer superior damping.

Well technically Koni FSD is a good match for factory springs, they cost a bit more but will be smoother day to day. Also they are non adjustable.

Koni Yellow are sportier, give you more body control at the expense of ride comfort. You can adjust the rebound on the front, but not the rear. You can get rear adjustable if you buy custom Konis from a place like TC Kline.

Koni orange are the non adjustable street focused shocks also, should be an improvement over stock a little bit, are meant to be an OEM "plus" type replacement

Rear yellows are adjustable, but not externally. One has to disconnect one end of the shock, compress it and turn.

Ah crap sorry that's correct. To me "mentally" they are not adjustable as it's a pain in the ass to take out and twist etc.

I went with dinan e92 springs, because they don't lower the car much with camber plates
