You really wont get anything "less firm" when you have a much smaller sidewall tire. Your current shocks could very well be bad and need to be replaced anyway, but I wouldn't expect in your mind that anything is going to make the ride better when you make changes with tires & wheel size
You can't expect a car to handle the same when you make the kind of changes you have made. So you have to decide....want looks or want ride quality. You wont get both.

Pooo...
But I DO appreciate the reality check. The current shocks are less than 5k miles B6 installed by the previous owner. The car has only 34K total on it.
I'll have to re-consider what I want to do. Maybe the easiest thing to do is try the 16" wheels first... Then think about the koni reds?
Can anyone with experience compare the Koni Red to the B4?
How do the B4s behave vs the B6? How do the B6 behave vs stock?
I have a set of 17" Boxster wheels and tires I can swap on to check if it makes a difference (have indy 500 tires on them)
Where is a good place to find a set of 16" Wheels?
