Is it still a smooth ride or does it ride stiffer?

if its anything like the original JIC coilovers (the A1 series) then it should be a stiff ride. Makes the car handle like its on rails but very very stiff even on the damper on the softest setting.

I can but I already got it aligned and that was expensive so I don't want to go through that again :/

on stock wheels, you should be able to tuck about 2 inches of tire both front and back.

Kald98ES, very nice looking drop. Like the other are saying if you have the clearance you should go lower, otherwise very nice. Happy driving bro. I hope by the end of the year, I'll have mine dropped with JIC's.
