Konis don't have clicks...therefore they are infinitely adjustable...therefore they are infinitely AWESOME. JK.
It's the
range of adjustability and the quality of the valving itself that is important. Number of clicks is not important.
I would recommend trying to find a ride with local people with RCE springs, Eibach Pro-kit, and Megans.
Our RCE springs are definitely good to go with stock shocks. It's a mild/medium drop WITH included shortened bumpstops. Makes a solid difference in ride and handling. You don't need the Konis. They are great, especially if you track or autox or just want a little....more...but are not required by any means. Lots of good reviews on stock shocks (and Konis) from people who daily drive, track, and auto-x their cars. There are some pictures in the members gallery or on our facebook. If you want to go a little lower, Eibach Pro-kit is a good choice.
A lot of people say "well for springs + konis I could just get coilovers."
Coilovers aren't automatically better! Konis are a far superior damper to the Megans and that's the backbone of the system. You don't get the height adjustability or the much stiffer spring rates of the Megans, but you have better valving. You have to choose what's important to you. If you must go really low, or you really want stiff rates, and that's your budget, maybe that's the better choice but there are compromises (as there are with anything).
FWIW there are coilovers out there that are much worse than Megans.
