should be awesome.. thats a good combination of companies.. But.. IMO for that price you can probably get a good set of full coilovers by tein, or omni or any other full coilover setup. Thats just my opinion.

There's a kit for Konis. Specify Koni shocks when you order. It has different sleeves.
The ride on Konis and GCs is far better than any other coilover kit I've driven on. I yanked an $1800 set of JICs out of my car in favor of the far cheaper Koni/GC setup and I'm happy I did. The car is not only smoother, but more controlled.

I don't think I'd go 2"+ though... your steering rack may not be happy with you.
