The stiffness is not because of the shocks... but the high spring rates of coilover type springs. It'll still be pretty hard with Koni Yellows I'm afraid. Also, decreasing stroke value by adjusting the height of the car (lowering a car) will reduce the life of a typical shock unless the shocks are designed for it. Even the Koni Yellows are designed to be more or less adjustable drop-ins and do not neccesarily increase shock life in lowered cars. The correct way to go about it would be a short stroke conversion, which I may be investigating in the very near future... ;]
