Car was purchased with tanabe springs, so stock springs were not included. I bought the car for her as a present.

Does it ride a lot worse with the lowered springs? I'm debating on lowering my car but don't want to lose my ride.

Tanabe states 5% ride quality difference..I agree with that on stock wheels

With my Tanabes and 22's, I would estimate about 20% difference total...22s don't ride good over bad roads..period. But, my roads are really nice so the car rides just fine to me..if I lived in Milwaukee or Detroit..I would be trying to put some 16s on lol..and yes, I have spent plenty on time on those roads too in case someone is offended
