I'm running Vogtland 55mm drop springs on Koni Orange STR.T shocks (daily driver) and the setup has ~50K miles on it thus far (OEM had 80K miles).
Pros: good daily driver setup
Mileage: 80000 km

Just got these installed on my 2023 M3 RWD (using stock springs, no other modifications), and so far very impressed. Basically experiencing all the benefits already mentioned on this thread. Absolutely worth the $$, labor was more expensive than the shocks themselves, but again totally worth it ????
Pros: experiencing all benefits
Cons: expensive labor
I've had several sets on many VW over the years , rocking them on my mk4 tdi now .
Pros: long-term satisfaction, reliable performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I recommend H&R Sport Springs 20 mm lift, and Koni Heavy Track adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers (no gas).
This combination reduces body roll and sway enormously. It feels tight and sporty around the urban jungle, although sometimes I feel the springs are too stiff when there is no load in the back.
Off the pavement, this combination provides a brilliant ride. It soaks up corrugations, ruts, potholes and rough surfaces really well. I'd describe the ride as plush but firm, extremely comfortable even while taking a lot of punishment. And I never feel any loss of control even when pushing it hard on the worst dirt surfaces. The spring rates and the shocks on a light adjustment (1/2 turn or 20%) are ideal for gravel track bashing.
If you don't need a suspension lift then avoid it, or minimise it, which is what I did.
Pros: reduces body roll, brilliant ride
Cons: springs too stiff
Vehicle:

This month, I installed Koni STR.T shocks... The handling is already way better than factory, just by adding more damping over the Euro Tuned shocks.
Pros: better handling, more damping
I used after market for shocks (Koni STR.T), and that went well.
Pros: went well

Just got the Koni special active's installed last night and so far am very impressed! I can still feel the high spring rate of the '21 MY springs under some conditions, but the harshness has been taken off considerably! It's a MUCH more comfortable ride over all the expansion joints, railroad tracks, potholes, etc. Definitely worth the money.
Pros: more comfortable ride
Cons: high spring rate
Koni Yellows with IEM Stage 3 (H&R’s progressive rate springs were out of stock at the time,) So good. Did all the bushings/linkages at the same time, it drives like a dream
Pros: drives like a dream
Vehicle:
BMW
Had one, an 850 Turbo wagon. Even with fancy Koni FSD shocks added, the thing still rode like a garbage truck and spirited cornering was a myth.. and still I loved that damn wagon.
Pros: great 5 cylinder sound
Cons: rode like garbage truck
Vehicle:
Volvo 850
The rear Konis on my RX-8 were a bitch and a half to adjust. You have to completely compress the shock and turn the shaft.
Cons: difficult to adjust
Vehicle:
Mazda
