New Solara owner AND first Toyota

Hello everyone, I've been lurking and reading for a week to try and avoid asking repeat questions. I am a member on other forums, mainly cigars, and always appreciate new members following that simple idea.
My new ride is an 07 Solara Convertible SLE w/HID and traction control in Chick Magnet Blue or as the dealer calls it Blue Streak Metallic. It really sets the car off (need to take some pics). I found this site looking for built in Nav systems by following a link from another forum. Glad I did because I found out about the RSB and FTSB upgrades a few are doing to the vert. I love the car but think removing some of the front shimmy and back end roll would make it even better, hopefully it will have the same smooth ride but handle better.
Anyway glad I found the place and take pity on me when the newbie questions pop up.

You shouldn't "lose" any "smoothness" with those suspension mods... as a matter of fact, after dropping with the TRD springs, I'm not aware of any "smoothness" loss from stock either, but a notably "sharper" car, and far better handling... more "nimble"... (still "dive/springs/bounces" too much in the front... but that's all "relative"... and only when I PUSH it.)
