Default Dropped on stock shocks

Are most of you running lowering springs w/ the stock shocks/struts. Ride quality hasn't been diminished? Does the car bounce? I know w/ some cars its really helps if you upgrade the shocks also. But how about on the Xbs. SO assuming I get the Goldline, you guys are saying on the stock shocks/struts the car will ride better than stock? Also anything else needed besides an alignment? Thanks!

im on Tanabe DF springs with stocks. and i haven't notice anything wrong, rides like stock to me, and the roads are BAD were i live. i think you should be fine, the struts are still NEW cause my car only has 2500 miles on it

the stock springs are really stiff. if you just change those out for goldline or tanabe springs, you will love the ride. no need to change out the struts.

I've got Spy 2" drop and ride is great. Only hard on bumps on some "high" bumps on the road.
