can anyone comment who has the H&R sport springs as to how the ride is with the adaptive suspension, thinking about getting it but concerned that the ride maybe to harsh and how much more drop does it give you? Any regrets?"

I would appreciate it if people with this set up can comment on there experiences.
Normally the M-adaptive suspension carries the same 10mm drop that the Sport-Line and M-Sport have (with the exception of the AWD models, which carry no drop)

So, if you have M-adaptive, Sport-line or M-Sport, the H&R sport springs will drop you an additional
Front - 1.3 in (33 mm)
Rear - 0.7 in (17.8 mm)
If you have the regular suspension, the drop will be 10mm more or
Front - 1.5 in (38 mm)
Rear - 1.0 in (25.5 mm)

Sourced from H&R's website here

Super Sport drops are listed there as well - basically they're 0.3 in lower than sport in front and back (7.6 mm)

Dear god don't do that - these are progressive springs

It's clearly stiffer and you certainly feel more of the bumps, but I've never once regreted it.
Is comfort with the H&R's sports more bouncy than stock comfort?
