I have this exact set up on my car.  I purchased the car with them already
on so I can't give a before/after comparison but can tell you how the car is
now.  Ride is not too harsh.  Somewhat stiff but never bottoms or thrashes
too much.  In hard fast turns the shocks are a little floaty but not too
bad.  Body roll cannot be commented on because I have thick aftermarket sway
bars that do the job.  I would say this is a good compromise between all out
performance and cushy ride.  You get all of neither but a decent taste of
both.  My car is now about 1.25" lower than stock.

Hope this helps!
