Default need info on dampening adjustable coilovers and the ride they give

im looking into coilovers and its either pss9s or h&r im probably gonna get. i know hrs dont adjust and bilsteins do. what is the ride like on both of these? when the bilsteins are on soft what is the ride like and what is the hr like? any other suggestions would be appreciated. im looking for a coil to drop my car not to the extreme but still have a somewhat decent ride. like a sport suspension or the ride on an s4.

Default Love The PSS9's.I have Mine Set On 7-9, Depending On Season...

9 is the softest, offers better damping and feels less like a Corvette suspension yet still offers great performance. Also, I have H-Sport sways which keep the car level at most turns. I have never set on anything less than 7, too harsh for a daily driver in the Northeast. Enjoy!

Default I've had both HR and currently Bilstein. they are both great, but the nod goes to the Bilstein...

for the adjustability. Depending on the setting you can have the luxo cruiser ride or the super stiff track ride. The ride on the HR's is nice, more supple than the OEM sport suspension. You can't go wrong with either really.
