are "Full" Adjustabe Coilovers comparable to the ride of Stock Struts?

Does anybody know if this is the case. Because I'm interested in replacing my current setup to a FULL coilover kit. I really need the ride comfort more than the performance.
Any suggestions to what brand? H&R, Neuspeed, Progress are some brands that make FULL coilover kits.

............Anybody?............. Thanks

They will be considerably firmer then stock shocks are, but your car will candle a lot better then stock... All the brands you named are decent brands.. You may also want to look at Apex, Koni, and Tanabe

Those are all good brands, and yes, the ride will be stiffer. When (and if ) I ever get the money to lower my car, I will most likely be going with the Apex'i WS system. Its kind of a budget true coilover system, but I'm not racing or anything so it should suit me just fine.

You would be well advised to also consider TEIN and Bilstein
