They ride great, gotta watch speedbumps now though. 
As for body roll, im kinda scared to push this thing around like my AE86 but it definatley seems to corner alot flatter than before.

The ride is very smooth considering the ride drop... I'll upload some pics (took some yesterday)... the spring rates are 8.0kg/mm front and 6.0kg/mm (or something) rears... so compared to, say TEIN FLEX which are around 12.0kg/mm or so they're soft. Going around corners at sane speeds isn't too bad (with 235/40 tyres/8.5" rim up front) but at full lock they rub a tiny bit... I'm planning on getting narrower wheels (front). With the factory shocks (JDM Tokico TEMS shocks) the ride is very soft... no one complains about the ride (I've been in other cars with a similar set up but different brand springs, and they are pretty rough).
Here's some pics...

Woohoo - SandStone Beige Mica!!! Looking good.
I have the same car, same color, and the same springs. Only problem is - my springs have been sitting in my apt. for the past 3 months collecting dust.

They ride great as in smooth and comfortable, not much difference from stock.
