Default Significant ride quality difference between 18 and 19"?

Looking at some 18's or 19's on F-Sport springs for an AWD but didnt want to lose too much of the lexus ride quality.

Anyone have experience with both set-ups?

Thanks,

I can tell you that I went from the 18" OEM is250 wheels to the 19" ISF wheels and I feel the road more, then I dropped on fsport suspension and that also impacted ride quality...its not horrible though and the looks I think out weigh the bad

I jumped from stock 17" to 19" ISF rims and i can tell you its a huge difference.. then springs then steering damper and the difference got bigger.

Do you get a bounce when driving down the road or does it feel pretty stable?

Huge difference like a jarring over small bumps? Are you happy with the comfort?

well you feel the road more. if you stay on your stock suspension and go 18" or 19" you'll only feel the road more and little better handling. don't get me wrong its comfy and nice but if you get springs it will be stiff on the road but also comfortable if you get the right springs.
