Performs much better. I have to be much more careful now, can't drive without much care as before. Looks much, much better. I'm on Tein SS.

Scale of 1-10: 7 being that 10 is stock ride. That'll probably drop to like 6 or 5 when I get my upgraded Tein springs.

I'm using KYB AGX and Skunk2 Coilovers, and I have it set on 1 in the front and 2 in the back. Rides pretty good to me, its a little stiffer than stock on those settings but still comfortable for daily driving.

I used to have a 6th gen accord with eibach prokit on stock shock. The ride is still ok imo, it's noticably stiffer than stock, but quite comfortable for daily driving.

I have Suspension Tech springs (2" drop) and stock shocks, and the ride feels like stock. I am happy!

Apexi WS coilovers here, I love them. Compared to stock ? No you can't compare them to stock.

I love my coilovers, of course the ride is stiffer but its supposed to be thats why I put them on haha. Stiffer suspension = less roll in corners. Im dropped with about 1 1/2 finger gap between fender, but I change the height all the time. I also have 18's with 40 series tires so I feel pretty much all cracks and bumps in the road.

I love the stiff suspension feel though. I ride in stock cars now and its just not as fun. You can do 80-100mph EASY in the new cars (eclipses/RSX/Teggys) on stock suspension and the ride is boring its so damn soft.

So I guess its just preference.

Good luck

I got neuspeed sports on stock shocks
i would rate them a 7.5
decently soft ride over bumps but corners well
I loved them until the rears started makin noises but it might be
b/c of the stock shocks (been on them for 1.5 years)
