The Koni Yellows should handle the stock springs just fine. Your ride will be a little more firm or "sporty", but it will be a quality ride. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback from the Yellows. We have great pricing on them on our website:

That's what I am looking for, a more firm sporty feel.

Yup, just got them a couple weeks ago. They are a ton better than the stock struts with 170k miles on them

I only have winter tires on right now, so I can't give a full review, but they feel great so far. A little firmer than stock (at least how I remember it before all the miles on them), but the handling is drastically improved. You can adjust the firmness, but I have it up higher. I have them on the lowest perch. I didn't see a better option without changing out the springs, or doing full coil-overs.

How much lower the car is at the lowest perch ?

I have Yellows and stock springs, no complaints. The drop on the lowest perch is less than an inch, I believe it's listed as 15 or 20mm. it was noticeable but not much lower.
