Let's just say I can deal with it. It's no Lexus quality ride, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be
It doesn't help that I "ghetto" slammed it either
If you don't want to risk comfort - leave it stock. That's the best ride you can get

UPDATE:
Well, after having the car lowered for a few hours, the 3 lights came on.
The VSC, VSC off, and ABS lights...
I did some research and thought my ABS sensors were bad
(I read where the wires would be pulled from the ABS sensors, causing them to go bad)
So - after removing my wheels to take a look to confirm.. I realized 2 things.
1. There's no way the wires can be physically pulled from the sensors. The ABS wires have way enough slack and they are also bolted onto your shock tower.
2. I found out my problem. Since the car was lowered - the sway bar was banging up against the lower frame during "hard" bumps. That's exactly the spot where the ABS wires were located. Both wires were literally cut in half by the bracket that held them in place.
I reconnected, and after driving a whole 1 minute - the lights WENT AWAY!!!
Just FYI for those that have that problem. LMK if that helps you

check your sway bar
Many here have discovered that their sway bar was mounted upside down which would cause them to strike the ABS cable on hard wheel turns or when going over speed bumps. this eventually leads to their ABS/Speed Sensor cable getting damaged.
Those cables cost around $170 each so its best to avoid having to change one.
