Default bilstein HD with swift sport springs

I was wondering if anybody can give me feed back of the ride with this combo.

Also on the Stock springs with bilstein HD on them

How does the ride compare to stock

I am interested in the ride and the handling. I am not interested in how low I can go.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

From what I read the sports are extremely stiff I'm just looking for a little better damping than stock

I had Bilstein sports with Eibach L-sportline springs and 18" wheels. I found the ride very firm.

I switched to KYB with L-tuned springs and the ride is nice and reasonably firm with 18" wheels. With 16" winters the ride is even more supple but still firm enough for better than stock handling.

KYB with some NF210's are an almost stock ride until you take a corner at 80!!!

I have Bilstein HD and stock springs and its a liitle on the firm side. Nice and tight handling but not really a luxury ride anymore. More a sports style ride.
