Question about springs and struts/shocks

I have a question for those who have installed performance springs and or struts/shocks:

Has the difference in handling been dramatic, average or no difference?

and

Was it worth the expense.

Thanks for the input.

Well this is a fairly broad question.... I hear the H&Rs and progress springs are fairly similar to stock ride quality. I also installed the Maxspeed springs on my car and they are very close to stock ride.

But I love it since the ride is a little stiffer yet good.

i agree with u rob van dam but give ur car about 10k miles on ur stock struts and u will be needing to replace them! thats what happened to me.... my ride quality went way down and i had to order new tokico blues which make the combination even better! i love em! if u need a good price i have the hook up on th tokico blues for 280 all around! let me know if u want some!
