My ride is just a little bit stiffer than stock, however I feel that it is more responsive. At cruising speeds, the ride is still very comfortable. I live in Md, and the roads are not too good in the city so I didnt want to go too low. Car does just fine. H&R only drops about an inch or so and after settling I wound up with about 1.5" drop. Very rarely have the problem of bottoming out, however with extreme dips it can happen.
With your 95 you have a little more options than I do with suspension. Check with Steveski,, he is running pretty much the same setup I have with wheel dimensions a little larger tho.

If you will keep 18s, you need a good slam. Just save money and buy a set of coilovers. Everyone I talk to springs, either don't like the way the car sits, changing to coilovers, or changing to air.
WHy do the job twice. Do it once, and do it right.

You can lower them different heights and adjust them to your liking.
Drive is excellent as most will allow you to adjust the ride.
My car is pretty low, and my ride is really no different than a stock 95LS.
I have done the spring/shock route on many cars, never again, not worth it for my time/effort and money.
Good luck.
PureDrifter would love you.

not when you think that good shocks alone are 300-400 and lowering springs are 200-300...you're maybe a couple hundred away from much more adjustability.
and ryan, im on spring/shock remember
....mind you....they're more adjustable than those available on the market today
