I havn't driven it TOO hard yet, but from what I've experienced so far, its a much firmer and better suspension than stock.
I'd like to point out also that the ride is really not that more harsh on normal roads during everyday driving than the HFP kit. At first, I hardly noticed a difference. Sure little bumps are slightly more jarring, but its subtle, and in a good way. Its not like driving will cause your teeth to fall out. I personally like the feel a lot more than stock, and am amazed that this wasn't the stock suspension. It truly is the perfect midpoint between comfort and performance. And if you are just buying it so that you can tell your friend's that you have a suspension kit, at least now you can without sacrificing your every day comfort (you pretentious bastard).
Also, while this is strictly a subjective point (although I guess the previous two were also completely subjective), the drop is perfect. One of my friends said it made the look of the car so much smoother, as it filled in just enough of the gap in the wheel well to look nice, without looking too rice (no offense to those who like lower cars, or rice). It looks really nice with the stock rims.
Anyway, just wanted to say, another happy customer, and for the money, its hard to beat.
