Good...

Make sure you use spring wrap on front springs to avoid clanking noises...

Very good ride overall. I recommend some Motivational rear mounts because there is little travel in the rear. These springs do exactly what they say:

"INTRAX designs most of its lowering kits with progressive rates, to satisfy the two features you've asked for most. First, the lowered look. Most other brands' springs are linear rate, as this is cost-effective but doesn't necessarily provide the visual effect you desire. By designing a progressive spring, we achieve the lowered look while maintaining safety standards of spring preload at suspension droop. The second requirement is ride quality. Since most of you identified that you drove 90% of your mileage to and from work, you wanted to retain some ride quality enjoyed with OE springs. If you're driving to work on a racetrack, "Sport" or "Race" springs from other brands may be for you. INTRAX progressive springs provide high performance looks and comfortable ride quality."

I really didnt notice a difference in ride, maybe worse over big bumps but not by much. They handle much better than stock especially at highway speeds. I liked them as a show spring but I never used them with an aftermarket strut. Just a tad too low for me.
