I've had Koni Yellows (Sports) on a previous car (DSM) that were used as a custom coilover setup, modeled off of a well known autocrosser's build. It worked well and I loved the ride, even with a pretty heavy front Hyperco spring (800lb).

It's a good read: http://www.farnorthracing.com/autocross/konis.html

This was mainly due to Konis being the best OTS option for DSMs, better than BC/K-Sport or anything along those lines, just renamed. I would love to build something similar on this platform.
