Hey Mike,
I installed the H&R's on my SQR'd 95'9000 AKA "Silver Slut":o) I found the ride to be less comfortable than I would like, but it's all a trade off of what you need and what you can live with isn't it? I have Eibach springs on my 9-3 and really love the good balance of comfort and control. The 9-3 doesn't have the beastly power that the 9000 has, so I talked to Frank Stromquist and he said to use H&R. Good enough for me! The H&R's are stiffer than the Eibach's and will give you more control, specifically in the rear. The car is quicker due to the fact that it doesn't squat on take off anymore. Definitely doubled my confidence in the corners too. I like them simply because they are cheap, effective, and the comfort is "OK". I should add that I drive no less than 1000 miles on this car each week, so comfort is really important, unfortunately even the stock Aero springs are just too soft with the monster power she has now. IMHO,Eibach for comfort and good handling,
H&R for descent comfort and very good handling.
