I'm riding on GC's with Koni Yellows, and I'm very pleased with the ride. Rates are 350F/280R if I'm not mistaken, so they aren't much stiffer than a typical set of aftermarket springs, although they do have linear rates. While a good set of aftermarket springs/shocks will be fine for your purposes, the notion that coilover sleeves/systems lead to unstreetable ride quality is a myth. As long as you go with a set of good shocks, you should be fine. I would go so far as to say that Koni yellows are probably the most widely used shocks in SCCA SoloII.

As for adjustability, it's been a saving grace in preventing tire rub when I went from 15" to 17" wheels.
