Owned H&R for over 2 years now. It is single best investment for handling improvement IMHO. My car is resolutely flat through turns, braking and acceleration. Initially the car feels slower because of less pitching and leaning going on.
As for the ride, it does get firmer. It would be similar to cold winter mornings when shocks and bushing are all stiff with stock spring. I don't mind the increased ride stiffness however.
Highly recommended in conjunction with high performance shock absorber(Koni, Bilstein..,)

Now that I have the Koni setup on my car, my sisters H&R/mystery strut combo is definitely a bit firmer. Not a bad thing, but just for the record. . . . .

I've had the H&R/Koni combo for nearly 3 years now. With the Koni's on full soft the ride is great for every day. And when I went on the track, I dialed in one round of firmness all the way around and the ride was quite firm and controlled.
Great combination.
Oh, and all you have to do to fix the "raked" look is to put a sub box in the trunk to drop the rear ever so slightly. Then the car is very level and has a great stance.

FYI, a so-called track has a start and finish that are NOT in a straight line. That BS is called a strip.

And your point? 
The track I went to was the Autobahn Country Club road course by Joliet IL for an SVTOA "On-Track" event. click here for the track home page

I put over 100 miles on the car in one weekend, and we were just on the South track.
I've never been on a drag "strip".
