Koni Reds vs height adj coilovers

I'm looking at upgrading the shocks in my G6ET. I currently have stock shocks with King springs all round (SSL/SSSL) .

 

I'm happy with the height it is now so was looking at keeping the King springs and upgrading the shocks to Koni Reds.

I want something that handles a fair bit better but still fairly smooth and quiet for everyday driving.

 

My question is, will the Koni Reds handle as well (or close to) as a full height adjustable coilover or would I be better off going with the full adj. coilovers?

 

I'm pretty much torn between Koni Reds and K-Sport or BC coilovers...

 

Thanks in advance :)

***Before anyone says it***

I would go with Shockworks but am not looking to spend that much unfortunately.

If you're not planning on running it around a track or doing mountain cruises, definitely get the koni's.

A well setup shock/spring combo will handle the same as a coilover setup at that height. Obviously coilovers give you that benefit of height adjustment.
