Nice title dude :)

Kings/Konis are ok just becuase of the konis. hehe...if u get the koni sports (aka yellows), you can usually lower further by 20 to 30mm (depending on model of shock) via the spring perch. So u have the normal perch, and the lowered perch.

Coiloevers are definately the better option. if ur car is fairly common, then wait to pick up a set of imported or second hand coilovers. $800 ish. which is a little cheaper than 4 koni shocks by themselves. Coilovers can pretty much fine tune height desire , where shocks usually dont offer height adjust, or if they do, just a single setting.

so the yellow konis will bring my car down a bit...sweet as. 2nd hand coilovers would be better then new yellow konis? is there like an average life for coilovers? like 50000km or something? btw my baby's an ek4 so id say there should be a lot of 2nd coilovers floating around...anyone wanna donate one..im the man ur lookin for

cheers for ur help
