Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk | Konis are the best mid range shock IMO. I prefer them to bilstein, and you aren't getting something better unless you step into thing like Ohlins, MCS, etc. (which are well beyond the budget, and need to be run as coilovers.)
Not sure what you mean about "hope its not too low" though. Your height isn't going to change if you just buy new shocks, its going to stay the same height as right now.

So hopefully, it would raise it just a bit. I doubt it tho, I'd probably have to invest in new springs or a ground control coilover conversion kit (which at the GC pricing, might as well buy coils)

It won't adjust height. Springs are what support the weight of the car and determine height, shocks keep your car from bouncing back and forth uncontrollably when the springs are compressing/decompressing.
As for GC, they have full bolt up coilover kits, not just conversion. I'd probably take those over any variation of the ST, but they cost a fair bit more. https://groundcontrolstore.com/colle...ete-assemblies
Best advice I can give you though is buy it nice or buy it twice. Every car I've ever owned I've purchased at least 2 suspension setups to find what I want due to being impatient. I'll probably end up buying a third soon for the m3.

Ohlins 
I prefer Koni over Bilstein for anything mid-range. What westopher said is correct - getting new shocks will not raise or lower your car; it's the spring that does, or a coilover setup that will.

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk | I ran Koni Yellows as part of my coilover setup for three years in Vancouver. They were perfectly fine when I sold the car three years into my ownership. Car was daily driven, for what it's worth.

STI is sold, time for a new project. Just threw some sealant on it and threw on some $100 eBay mirror caps during the 2-3 hours of sunshine we had yesterday.

Damn! I didn’t realize the fenders where so swore on the m2! Guess when it’s in white it’s not as noticeable.

Not sure what you mean about "hope its not too low" though. Your height isn't going to change if you just buy new shocks, its going to stay the same height as right now. | i would skip ohlins unless you are going for a custom setup / higher end like the TTX
entry level ohlins are very mediocre and often too soft - so you'll need to spend some money to get it valved properly
bilstein are great for street - really comfy
I would rank MCS/Penske/JRZ in top category - Ohlins will be in here too if you are not going for off the shelf setup
