The ride all depends on how your thinking about lowering it.. stock suspension is always a nicer ride but if you go for a suspension set up with smaller springs the ride will be just that little bit harder but you will notice the difference in handling and your car will be lower. Coilovers are alot harder than springs & shocks.. Mk6 stock will be quite high so a 40-45mm drop will look spot on and not be a hard ride.
