Your ride quality will be greatly determined by the tires you run, surprisingly... but at the end of the day, here's what you need to ask yourself:

- What is "quality" worth to you, in terms of dollars?
- Will you know how to set up your suspension for max performance on the street? In this context, "performance" means great handling and a firm (but better) ride than stock, but a lot of people don't even know what a good suspension feels like.
- Will you tune your own suspension? Or will someone else?
- Why are you lowering?
- Are you willing to rebuild the shocks every 2 years or so?

For 99% of the guys out there, they are better off w/ aftermarket shocks + stock springs for better suspension performance. But a lot of people mistake "better" with "more money", which is sometimes true.
