Cheers, will try and get Koni to respond on SCNM or e-mail... I need to go lower [for looks as much as handling] and also crave better damping!

As for the Eibachs go for it, these are fitted to my standard shocks.

I've also got a brace of braces () from GTT and would say the 20-30mm Eibach kit really works well with the stiffer chassis.

Have you thought about the GTT boot brace too?

I wish - not available for the convertible yet

I would only go down the coilover route if it meant I get both the controlled damping and ride height... which I probably could! But pockets aren't that deep right now
