I looked into substituting Konis in. It's definitely doable. I made a thread here:

All we would need is the locking circlip for the front Koni shock and a 2.5" ID spring sleeve + collar. Would probably cost ~$1100; another $200 if you wanted to change the spring rates. Basis Zs are working for me now but if they ever blow I'm going this route.
Konis will work much better. They are adjustable and their rates are perfect... strong body control and supple bump absorption. They've been great on every car I've had them on.

I can vouch for Koni's ride. I had some Koni inserts on a WRX and they were great. Rode well on the street and you could tighten them up for track days. I did blow one out on a track that had a dip in it and they sent me a new one. The lifetime warranty is always a bonus.

I can't post the link now, but you will need a Koni circlip, sleeve kit and I believe a 2.25 or 2.5 ID spring of your choosing. I'm personally still leaning towards the Flex Zs as they are cheaper and close to the specs I want.

Downside: rears are tough to adjust on the car.
The lower spring perch can be mounted upside down, which years ago caused people to believe they raised the ride height, but were ultimately installed incorrectly.

Full soft is stiffer than stock and a good starting point, I've tightened them a full turn and it was too stiff. No bouncing and they're great an handling dips and elevation changes. Obviously pot holes and stuff like that hit harder.

What springs do you run Lego?
