Not sure about about H&R or Espelir, but the Copmtech adjustables are avery soft ride. I hated them, softer than stock and a bitch to adjust.

Off the shelf konis are not valved slower than stock. That means they'll feel softer. Unless you get them revalved, you're better off using stock.

I have Espelir springs on my S2k and I would recommend them . They don't ride bad at all,but you can tell they are stiffer than the stock springs and give you a nice stance.

Espelir are great for lowering and keeping about the same ride quality. If your going to be tracking it, I would strongly suggest something better
