I've had the H&R coils since Dec 2007 and I like them a lot.. haven't used any other coilover system to compare them too, but they definitely handle good and it gives me the dropped look I want..

yeah on bumpy roads it is sort of harsh especially since I have 20 inch wheels.. on highways / faster speeds they stiffen up nicely, and control is really great. I was initially looking at the Bilstein PSS9 coils, but when my wheels finally came in the PSS9 were on backorder at TireRack.com. My local shop, SonicMS, recommended the H&R coils instead and I've been happy with them.. I heard the next best is the KW V2 or V3 coils, but they are expensive.
