H&R Springs Ride Quality

Thinking about dropping the car but first I need to get some feedback on ride quality. I'm not looking for a much stiffer ride than stock. I don't want the interior to fall apart from the terrible roads in Boston.

Will there be a significant change in ride quality with H&R springs?
Is the ride quality with coilovers typically worse than with H&R springs?

Thanks

My H&R springs are riding like stock, I dont see any difference. Keep in mind the springs only drop your car .75 inch which is very minimal. But of course, you gotta drive a bit slower on bumpy roads or speed bumps as any lowered cars to avoid damage to the car lower parts.

I've had cars that were 3-4'' from the ground. I can deal with the height. Thanks for the ride feel feedback though. Seems like the springs are the best way to go for a car that won't see much track time.

I recently had H&Rs installed. I don't think of the ride as really being much stiffer than stock. The car just feels a bit more stable. I'm really happy with the mod.
