They aren't the best for slammed cars, they can just handle the lowest drop. It still isn't good for them to be slammed, unless you ask koni to specifically shorten the shaft of the shock. Ride quality will probably be decent, but springs determine most of the ride quality. You will lose quality regardless of what shock you pick, but those that are dampening adjustable you will be able to change the settings to suit your needs.

Koni's are awesome, you wont regret them even for daily driving. On its lowest setting its just a tiny bit firmer then stock. Then from there you can adjust the firmness to almost 2 times I think. The first time I took some twisty roads that I've been on before with stock shocks the difference in handling was night and day. So much more controlled, less body roll and way better responsiveness. Having this type of handling no matter where you drive is well worth the money spent IMHO. Totally converted my sloppy suspension into a very well handling car.
