itll be firmer, but elbich(sp) will be the best ride unless u go for coil overs, which is more expencive, call pvd they stock fk coil overs, cheapest coil overs about i fink and u can lower your car by how much u want, i have avo coil overs on mine at the moment, its low handles well, bit uncomfy cuz its 75mm low

It'll look too low being 60mm on 15"s.

Stick to a sensible height. My old setup handled like a go kart.
