I believe you would have a stiffer ride, but you really need to lower your car oracle emoji.

I did that. It felt exectly the same as stock. But then two weeks later I got my coilvers on and it went down hill from there.

The suspension will be a little firmer- because the shocks will seems stiffer than OEM- just remember the trip to the englishtown meet, as we were getting on that on-ramp... the lowered people did alot of weaving...

The lower the car....the worse the ride......If you lower the car, get either Teins or Prokits. IF you go full suspensinon then get true coilovers so you can adjust the height. On my next car i am not going lower then 1.5".....

if you get a good coil over setup you can get superior handling without a stiff ride. look into getting some TEIN super streets. think they're like $750

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.
