Not a Viggen specific response...
The SE stock springs( NG900), konis and VRK are a good combination. The ride is smooth and steering is great. As the rest of the suspection becomes more '''accurate''', the effects of tires/wheels becaomes much more significant. The shocks and VRK will not create any problems as your mechanic suggests.
Stiffer springs can reduce body roll, and decrease shock travel, so hitting the bump stops becomes more possible. Note that with shorter sidewalls, you also loose some suspention travel of sorts. You also run the risk of damaged and bent rims as well. Sone folks with lowered suspension have last their oil pans on bad roads. That is expensive. However, the VRK subframe brace you loose another inch or so of clearance. Solowering springs plus the VRK can reduce ground clearance by over 2"!. Note that damage to the sub frame brace will probably distort the subframe as well, which will throw off you camber and toe-in.
With the stock springs on a NG900, the SAS rear sway bar for $125 + shipping does a great job. It will greatly reduce the body roll. But, the Viggen springs and sway bar may be doing a good job with body roll already.
