Lowering ....will I lose comfort in my ride?

Will I lose a comfortable ride I have now with stock suspension?
I am considering Nuespeed sport or race lowering springs to eliminate the
gap and improve handling, but I don't want to feel all the bumps like in my old CRx![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

unless if you get aftermarket shocks, yes. i have neuspeed sports on stock shocks and it isn't too bad.
only shocks available right now are konis(these are just inserts not full struts) and bec tecs(no one has these yet due to them being an unkown company). your other option would be true coilovers

Define comfort! I love my ride, and yes you get more "road feel." What I hated was my car flopping all over the road at every turn. Now the only flopping is the occupants, but the car is stiff and road hugging. That's comfort.

Thanks ya'll for the input...I define comfort as a smooth ride, not feeling the bumps, potholes too much, not being jarred when I hit a little bump...the streets here suck and are rough sometimes! Smooth is not being pounded when I roll over a bump or rough spot...
I also read on here about someone saying the Nuespeed sports don't lower you enough...he said you gotta get the nuespeed race...what about this?

hehe that was probably me. ya i have sports and i regret it, i dont scrape at all but it just isn't low enough. have a 2 finger gap with my skinny fingers... the .5" with the race would make a perfect drop for someone without a kit IMO. but then they are race springs so the ride quality might not be as great as sports. if your getting aftermarket shocks you dont have to worry too much about that tho
