I know it's not a popular point of view, but if you want a near-stock ride quality and handling at least as good as any of the aftermarket sport springs (H&R's or Neuspeed sports) get yourself some SRS springs and bilstein HD's. Great ride quality and a VAST improvement over stock/softsports/HOR's. Doesn't lower the car at all, though. On the Jetta, my mom didn't even complain about the ride quality. ;)
