A Different Q about Konis, dont get pissed at me

To answer one of your questions - Springs and struts usually have a 5-8 year life span depending on the load that they are carrying and on what types of roads you are driving on. Koni's and h&r have a LIFETIME Warranty (for as long as you own your car and you also have to have a Certified koni/h&r tech install them from you)

Well,
First off the koni struts(REAR) have 3 perches on them to set your springs on.
Meaning on the lowest perch they spring will sit about .25 inches lower than factory springs (meaning you should have a .25 drop with factory springs and koni struts)
The middle perch is suppost to be like stock hight, meaning with factory springs and the struts perch in middle you get the factory hight.
If you place the perch in the top position you will have a .25 raise from factory, so your car will look like the back is raise up a touch with factory springs.

So in theory if you place your springs on the highest koni perch your back will be up .25 inches and the back will be down .25 inches, but becareful as when the car is not level it can sometime be more bouncy than usual.

In my opinion, I suggest you change everything one time and never worry about it again.

Good Luck

These are the set ups I tried in the past. Eibach/Koni, and I loved this set up. R-Spec/Koni, and I loved the look of this set up the best. It lowered it over 2" up front, but that truned out to be too low for everyday driving. Currently I have almost exactly what you want to do. I am now using my OEM springs with Koni shocks. I have the front Konis on the low setting with dropped .75", but in reality creates a drop that is very close to the Eibachs drop on stock perches. For the rear, I have it on the middle perch. This gives the rear a very slighly lower look than stock, maybe about 1/2", and the front a lower look, about .75-1" drop. As for the ride quality, it is near OEM sice I am using the stock springs. For now I have the Konis set on full soft all around, but I will probably set the front Konis a little stiffer when I have the time. I DO NOT suggest you put the rear Konis on the high setting. That will just raise the car up too much, and also put some positive camber back in the rear. I also don't suggest you use OEM shocks in front and Konis in the rear, or the other way around. Use all 4 of the same shocks. Racers might tune their suspention with different setups at each corner, but that's a whole different ball game. I suggest you buy the Konis, put the front Koni on the low perch and the rear Konis in the middle perch and use the OEM springs.

This is what it looks like.
