Default H&R on stock shocks

Has anyone tried this and how much difference is there on the comfort? I want to buy the dark blue springs they have which lowers 35mm, but not if it is too hard to ride.. It should be the most comfy ride with the dark blue springs..

Anyone that knows something about this?

This is the springs...

I have the HR springs on stock shocks. feels perfectly fine and comfort is the same. I installed them about 6 months ago and its the best thing ive done imo. I didn't get coils because I didn't want to be slammed to the ground where I scrape going over everything. these HR springs are low, but not low enough that I cant go over a speed bump without having to angle it. depending on how steep some drive ways are though, I have to angle it just so I don't mess up my bumper.

^ You could have gone with coils and been able to adjust to the right height. The only downside to the springs is you can (probably wont) blow a shock in the process. Either way its a nice subtle drop that would have been nice from the get go. You should go for it if you dont want the cost of the coils.
