If u want to go low, I suggest getting the H&R ultra low coils which got a shorter shock body.
My konis have never bottomed out in the shock. Unless you had huge bumpstops on yours I'm not sure what the issue was. I had bilstein pss9s before and couldn't handle how bone rattling they were, and they didn't go near low enough so I got rid of them for the konis. It comes to preference and how you have them set up, since we both made the opposite switch and are both happy with them. To dar3d3evil. My car doesn't rub in the rear at all no matter how full it is. Front rubs a bit on big bumps and full lock but it isn't really affected by passenger load.
