Default Koni FSD - Tech Info Required

Alright... I've just read yet another post about how awesome these FSD shocks are for a street car. I also looked at the Koni website and reviewed all of their technical information.

My question lies in the max damping of these shocks... if they are designed for the stock c5/c6 suspension systems, do they offer enough low frequency damping to work properly with the FE4 (Z06) and T1 suspension parts?

I have an '02Z and I have a T1 suspension package ready to install. The only thing that really worries me is the stiffness of the T1 shocks... I don't want to turn the car into a skateboard.

With the T1 springs (~10% stiffer than the FE4) and T1 sways installed, will these shocks offer appropriate body control? If nobody knows, maybe LAPD can chime in with a call to Koni tech support?
