Default Bumbier ride?

I was wondering how much the ride would change if i were to get 1 inch lowering springs for my car. I know it would get bumpier but how bad?

i got tein s teck springs (without bump stop cut) and it lowers it about 1"7 all over and you cant even notice, it feels like a stock ride unless u go over something big, but it corners amazing

They usually run about $140 shipped. I had 'em on my old '03 Lancer and they were great. Kinda squeeky though.

Really, I have em on my Evo and they dont make any noise at all. They are pretty low though and I will hopefully be switching to Tein Flex very very soon

I hate my coil-overs I'd go with springs if i could do it all over again... oh yeah, and any bump sucks in my civic, if you see a white 98 EX coupe swerving just remember, i'm not drunk just trying to avoid the pot holes
