H&R Springs - Impressions?

With H&R springs... How close to factory driving characteristics will the car exhibit?

Best way to describe it for me is stock ride but a tad stiffer and much more stable. No bouncing or bottoming out. Handles like a BMW should. One of my favorite mods to date

Thanks guys! I want a stiffer suspension but also don't want to lose the smooth ride and DON'T want the bouncing many lowered cars exhibit.

how much is it lowered by? I'd like almost nothing noticeable in terms of lowering, heard ACS was good for that. what's the diff. b/w coil overs and springs btw?

So H&R will maintain the ride quality? My 550 is sooo smooth, takes bumps very nicely, does this remain?

ACS ride much better --- the H&Rs on my 550 were way too low and very boucy in the front.
