How's the ride with a GR-2 / H&R setup?

I'm looking to upgrade my suspension, and with the GR-2 group deal currently going on, now is the perfect time. I am curious though, as to how compatible, and how satisfying is the GR-2 / H&R setup?
I want a stiffer suspension, but i don't want to have to lift my butt everytime i hit a bump. I still want some comfort. I know that the H&R's are a softer spring, but how about when they are paired up with the GR-2's?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have that combo. It's great.

It is quite a bit stiffer than stock, but it still takes the edge off the biggest hits.

How about endurance wise. Can I expect this setup to last a long time? I don't really drive the car that hard. Any I avoid about 95% of the holes in the street. Any guesstimates?

I can't comment on the gr2's, I just got them a few weeks ago. I've had the H&R's since summer 2001 and I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. I've put a crapload of miles on since then, and I was on the stock struts. The gr2's feel better than the stock struts did, but they were probably worn out.

I have that combination and to tell you the truth...so far that's the best set up yet. I've had them in for about a year now...use to drive into the city everyday, now I drive out on the island 50 miles everyday...still working real good. Like I said, great combination!
