There's less bounce when going over bumps. I've noticed that bumps that would usually make the car go up, then down and then back to normal height are now just a quick bump with no body motion. It feels like the car is more a part of the road, instead of the car feeling like it's attached to a suspension attached to the road. Less body roll in the curves also. I back off now because i feel the tires leaning too much, not the car.
I also noticed a big difference on the highway. There's less "float" in the ass end when changing lanes or on those long sweeping turns when changing highways. And like I was saying above, when you go over the bumps of an overpass, there's no bouncing, just a hop up then a hop off. I'm sure this will be very nice when driving in the rain or snow.
Highly recommended if you're looking for an easy, inexpensive and warranty included suspension kit. If you're looking for a big drop though, you might want to look elsewhere. But something to consider if you're planning on upgrading to 18" wheels like myself. With only a .80" drop, that leaves plenty of room to play around with. You can get away with some bigger offsets that you couldn't if you were dropped 1.5"+.

Hi - so would you say the ride has improved and is actually less harsh with the HFP suspension kit installed?
