ride isn't nearly as bad as i thought it might be, and its a huge improvement over stock, lookswise. the only downsides i've really seen are that i'm scraping the resonator on my exhaust on EVERYTHING, and if you have a heavy keychain, you're more likely to have your car shut off if you hit a pothole. (its happened 6 times in 106k miles over 4 years, but 3 of those have been in the 3 months since i got the sportlines)

i agree 100% about the ride quality, and exhaust issue. the ride quality is great imo.

Although I have a 2.4, the suspension is similar to the s/c's. I have Sportlines and I love it. Looks great, handles great, and the ride is barely worse that stock - just more harsh of a jarring when you hit something hard. I'd say get them for sure. I got mine used for 100 bucks..
