anyone uses H&R Coilover?

I see alot of posts on PSS9 or H & R Springs. But I haven't seen too many people comment on the H&R Coilovers. Anyone have first hand experiences with these vs. the pss9 vs. ROWM030 vs. the stock?
i'm interested in feedback regarding ride comfort, track abiility, and ride height.

I'm looking for a setup for about 6 track days a year and daily driver on a 00 996 c2

I have HR Coilovers, they came on the car when I bought it. On the street it's pretty mild and the wifey doesn't seem to mind--I used to run an NSX w/ 600/700# springs and this is nowhere near that, feels closer to my M3 which is around 300-400# springs all around. At the highest setting it's still pretty low and the front (aerokit I) scrapes on pretty much everything. I run 19"s all around and on the track the spring rates are a little soft--the tops of my tires dig into the tops of the fenders, stiffer springs would solve that.

Since I'm on the road about 98% of the time (vs. track) I'd rather have a setup more street than track, but if I was stock now I'd probably be looking at the ROW or PSS9 based on the feedback here.

i've got the H&R coils on my M3 - i find them a bit harsh for daily driving, but a friend who's got a full GC track setup thinks the ride is pretty similar to stock... i like the fact that they are height adjustable, but wish they were dampening adjustable... maybe on the next setup...
Overall no problems and am pleased with them...
