17s or 18s

I have an 01 civic ex coupe and have just upgraded it's suspension with an eibach sportsline springs and koni yellow struts. I want to get 18s but am worried about ride quality. Does anybody here have a similar setup with 18 inch wheels? if so, can you tell me if the ride is harsh? the car is an everyday driver and i want nice wheels but nothing that would mean an uncomfortable ride. thanks for the input.

I got the exact same suspension set-up, bout to get 18s in a week. I'll let ya know how the ride quality is then.

But in the end, it really IS up to you. Your idea of "harsh ride quality" might be different from someone else's.
