if you havent already put the front on full soft and the rear on full stiff...
If anything get stiffer rear springs. i think they're only like $50 for 1 or something.
Or just sell those and get something else

The issue is that the Konis werent designed to work at that ride height... So, I would recomend Sending the shocks back to koni and getting them Shortend to allow for more suspension travel = better ride quality. Though it may set you back a few hundred bux..

^^dont get your hopes too high with skunk2 coilovers. yes they may not be so soft like the GC's but they dont go so low as the GC's. i have an 03 ex coupe and my rear is barely tucked when my front can be. so pretty much the front can drop up to 3" when the rears on mine can only go nearly 2". maybe its the model of my car? maybe it was meant to be on non-ex model cars? beats me... but ill never figure out unless im not lazy enough to swap springs with another car... but thats a lot of time.

if you can sell the GC n koni combo, you would work your way up to full coilovers. GC + Koni yellows = like 500+ ? depending on condition/use

Yes, a lot of people miss the fact that Koni Yellows are not much shorter than the stock shocks. Just because you have stiff shocks doesn't mean the travel will suit every height.
