Default ride quality

I was wondering how lowering the car will affect the ride quality. I expect it to be stiffer but I wanted to know how much stiffer. Is it something thats livable as a daily driver as my car is? I really like the lowered look but as you all know the car is stiff stock.

"Stiffer"is very hard to define.

The progressive springs I used (Eibach) actually made the ride softer, although the specs say otherwise.

Ride height is perfect, now I'm replacing the tired OEM struts w/ Konis.......

I put on some H&R coilovers about 3 weeks ago and the car does feel a little stiffer but can't really tell too much.

also running eibachs, but with ssr gt-3s

ride is a bit tighter, but do not feel more bumps- very similar to stock, but corners a bit better and tracks a lot better on the road.
