Default Coil overs?

I am looking at lowering my car and was looking at some H & R coil overs. I can only think they would make for a horrible ride, but I don't know. Anyone have any input?

H&R coilovers are 345lbs F, 345lbs R
Stock 02-03 is 240lbs F, 230lbs R

If you want to keep the same ride you could buy Ground control adjustable springs and use stock stocks or get some koni shocks. Ground control lets you pick the stiffness you want so you could buy same as stock to keep a similar ride.

So far I dig the BuddyClubs.

They are firm - but certainly fine for the street. Spring rates are high - 10K front and rear but with the damping adjusted properly for what you want to do they'll get the job done.

I love the way they work for auto-x

Who could be against an attractive young gal ridin' in a car with stiff springs?

I think the H&Rs would be your best bet for soft, comfy coilovers. Pretty darn affordable too.
