Default koni yellows with stock springs

Will using koni yellows on my stock itr springs lower the ride height any? I want the height about an inch lower. Will this set up make for a smooth ride(the roads are a bit rought here).

if you want about a 25mm drop, get some eibach springs on standard shocks

I beleieve the koni yellows have 3 spring perches. So if you wer to set it at the lowest spring perch, your car will be slightly lower, but probably not much more than 10-15 mm.

hmm can you get itr specific eibach springs? The stated drop for the eibachs i have been looking at is 1.3", but that drop is based on the stock gsr ride height. So that wouldnt really be much of a difference on my itr suspension.

I have Koni yellows on stock springs and it was about an inch drop on the lower perch.
Mine are the "older" yellows that have 2 perches.
The ride quality is not that bad, but there are places around here where its very rough.

I run Koni yellows with stock springs at the stock heights (to be autox legal).

When I bought them 2 years ago, the koni website said: Fronts have 2 grooves. Top is stock height, bottom lowers you 30mm. Rears have 3 grooves. Middle is stock height. Top & bottom are 20mm drop or raise.

Last time I looked, their site said: Adj. spring perch can lower car approx. F & R = 25mm

So should i expect a harsh ride daily driving them on the lowest perch with the stock springs?

Mine's is my daily driver, and my konis are revalved for increased damping. IMO, no problem.
