Help me with my specific coilover application! CABRIOLETS!

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

Feed me part numbers!

I want to go LOWER and AT LEAST 10x stiffer. I don't care about handling, I just want, no, NEED to go lower. And in order to go lower, I will definitely need a lot stiffer. I'm talking like 1000lb springs.

According to what I've read, this is what I need if I want top-adj Koni Yellow SAs:

Front: Shortened/Modified VR6/G60 Corrado shocks (I'm guessing these would be 8641-1198SPORT)

Rear: Mustang 94-04 shocks (8041-1186SPORT)

I really want top-adj rears because I have a cabriolet, so adjusting the rears would be as easy as adjusting the fronts.

Edit: I just read something about TC Kline, can someone chime in on this?

Other shocks I read about:

Front:
- 8641-1021Sport (I believe this is OEM E30 replacement)
- 8041-1198Sport
- 8610-1447Race
- 8611-1258Race (Strut Insert Front, Koni Race Double Adjustable Fits Golf II, Jetta II 1985-90 (Models w/non-sealed struts). Rebound and Compression Adjustable.)

Rear:
- 8042-1026Sport (8 cyl mustangs, 87-93)
- 8042-1134 Sport (Mustang 94-04 Exc. IRS rear suspension.)

It still would've costed way more than this setup. Even though the shop can get it at cost, their cost is japanese retail. So it'd still be way expensive.

And only the rears would've worked, the front assemblies don't bolt right up

The pan doesn't blow directly because it's low. It blows because the car's suspension is too soft so at full compression the pan is basically kissing the ground.

So i'm going stiffer, which will allow me to go lower

Looks like I'm going 450/700 instead
