Has the ride changed dramatically?

I will be doing an alignment once the X is lowered.

Thanks in advance for any input you might have.

I have the H&R kit with stock shocks and struts. I tried aftermarket struts and shocks and ride was miserable and the handling was not as good.

The H&R springs are the same or almost the same spring rate. They are just shorter. I really noticed the change in center of gravity. I think the ride is little stiffer, not much at all. It was much more than offset by how much more comfortable I am with the handling. I have the stock wheels (87s) 20" wheels that came on my X. If you like the ride of what you have I think you will be fine with the H&R difference.
