You can't go wrong with either. Most people like the H-Sports for the progressive spring rate. Are the wheels 18s or 17s (just curious). I have the H-Sports in my car and the ride is fine, better than stock actually I think. I live in Miami so if you want a ride before taking the plunge just let me know.

I have a new set of h&r to replace my h-sport's. I think that the front is too soft causing the front to bounce while driving on bad freeways. Bistein sports helped a little, but not enough. Also, the progessive aspect doesn't work for me. The balance is nice, but any adjustment mid corner, once the suspension sets, causes an unsettling shift. I don't feel in control on narrow, bumpy back roads. Basically, I want a quicker return to point zero.
I'd rather a firm one time "event" and get it over with than attempting to be comfortable by dragging out the event. To me that is more frustrating and takes away from agressive driving stability. Soft and comfortable are two different things.

This is just my experience and not meant to be negative. Everyone else seems to love them. If you decide on h-sport you can have mine cheap. Cheap enough to try them out and move on if you change your mind.

Just shoot me a PM whenever you're up this way and we can meet up.
