i know i friend of mine in the states went with KYB shocks and Ground Control coilovers. his only regret was the stiffness of the coils.

I\'ll hopefully have Koni Sport shocks fitted to my convertible next month. Got them on the FD already and am very happy with them so unless you really want \'proper\' coilovers...

I went with Koni shocks and Racing Beat springs on my Vert - Ride height drops only about 1/2 inch, but the ride is way firmer.
 
Apart from exposing the crapness of Surrey roads, the feel of the car in cornering has until recently been excellent.  Lack of tread on the rear tyres with wet leaves and possible loose steering have made for some exciting \'butt out\' action. :driving

I have Konis on mine with Pi springs, seem to do the job, although I could do with sorting my bushes out.
