I'm dropped on springs and now on 20's. I must say it's not a huge difference in ride quality but it's there non the less. Maybe the quality of the Swift springs helps with keeping it as close to an OEM ride as possible...I don't know as I've never had other brand springs or coilovers.

I can also tell you the tire brand makes a difference in ride quality. I had Hancooks on originally and they seemed smooth. I had a balancing issue (not tires fault) so I changed tire brands to Bridgestone and found they felt the road more than the previous (tougher ride). The Hancooks seemed to have a less stiff sidewall.

At the end of the day, I'm extremely happy with my choice in wheel size and If I could do it again, I wouldn't change the wheel size but I would research tires better. Maybe Michelins are the way to go.

Hope this helps.

Edit: I'm running 255 tires in the front and 275's in the back. This adds more rubber making for a smoother ride.
