With the lowering spring, the suspesion is harder. The car roll less while cornering. But it could have difference between the differand bran of spring.

It is one of the reasons upgrading your shocks is a good idea when you lower your car. Others I've heard on genvibe say there is a slight bouncing on harsh road, and the stock shocks can only do so much with less travel due to the shorter springs.

The wheel hop seems to be a little more present since I installed my spring. I don't know if it is only because my driving style has changed or it is related...

I've never considered the Vibe steady and smooth. It's always been a bit firm. When I added the TRD springs, I noticed a bit firmer ride, but the MAJOR benefit is the MUCH better high-speed stability. Darn car cruises at 90-100mph and feels rock solid.
