I have Tokico HP's and I would suggest going with adjustables only because these can be harsh on bad roads. On a nice smooth road though the car handles great with little body roll around turns and practicly no nosedive during hard braking.

tokico HP are not harsh at all on rough roads with stock springs, more likely your H&R super sports is making it rougher. Then again ride quality would be compromised anyways with springs like that.
