As ok as running those shocks with any other lowering spring that the shocks aren't really up to controlling.
Shocks control the springs, if you don't have enough shock control, ride and stability suffer. That's why cars on stock shocks start to ride worse over time with no changes, the shocks can't do the job anymore.
Koni's are the only best answer. These days, the second choice simply because you have some flexibility are AGX's. It doesn't thrill me to say that, but there are only some many options around.

...especially with the Hypercoils he was going on about in another thread. Talk about two seriously mis-matched parts. The stiffer the spring, the more Koni's become a requirement to control them.

i think you're making the right choice in just saving up for the Koni's if your intent is outstanding handling performance....once you get them on, you'll realize exactly how poorly your car is handling right now.
