I commented at Posts #25 & #28 here. That post also contains some more gratuitous pictures.
Overall, you notice the springs because they transmit more of what the suspension is doing. This gives more steering feel and certainly better turn-in response to corners. I also can corner faster than on the stock springs. On the other hand, bumps are mildly more noticeable but not by much. Now that I've had the springs for a year, I'd have a hard time describing the increase in bumps over stock - it is more subtle and not really pronounced.

The ride quality is so much better now. I dont have the feeling of turn over my car when I take some corners or curvy roads. There is no like jittery feeling that some might expect, just feel more planted. The only thing is that its lowered slowing down on bumps and even going sideways becomes a regular thing.

Well yes and no. You do have to kind of change your driving style after you have springs on. My previous car was a slammed out C300 and most of friend's cars are lowered so I'm used to driving like it. You'll learn the art of driving a lowered car:
