Can the Koni shocks lower the car for 60mm?

If not, what are the other choices?

60mm (6cm) is a lot to be lowering a car. I don't think anything other than taking all four wheels off will lower the car that much. Was that a typo?

Sorry I'm American and have a bad perception of how much a cm is. 6cm = 2.36 inches. So it's definitely possible. If I remember correctly, that ^ car has coilovers. I don't know if springs/shocks by themselves will get you that low, though. Eibach Sportline only does 1.9". I don't see the konis getting you much more than that.

jtso has neuspeed sports with koni yellows and had great things to say about them. I imagine the prokit with the similar drop would be about the same.

i love my pro kit and Koni combo. i bet they'd be good with sportline also. i wouldn't go that low if you have a body kit though.

I am afraid that when using koni shocks with sportline would be too bumpy
so i always want to see if anyone is using such combination

I currently have Ground Control coil over sleeves with KYB/AGX struts on my Infiniti G20. Ground Control makes a good quality product. I have not had any noise issues whatsoever. There are those who did. The noise seems to come from the coil over sleeve being too loose on the strut. The solution is to wrap the strut with a thin layer of duct tape before putting the sleeve on.

Yes, I know using duct tape for any automotive work is pretty ghetto. But, the reality is, it works perfectly. I have had the GC coilovers + KYB/AGX on my car for over 60K miles and about 4 years. No rattles, creaks, squeaks, slippage or anything else.

Additionally, Ground Control uses Eibach Race Springs (you choose the spring rate and length). Therefore, you know that the springs are of good quality.
