I went from a totally worn-out stock suspension on my 148K-mile '02 base to the Bilstein HD (B6) shocks with the ROW M030 springs and sways, and I like it. I'd describe the ride as quite firm on the street, but it's not harsh. It's pretty decent on the track; if my priority was track days, I'd go stiffer with both springs and sways. Since I use it on the street, I'm pretty happy with the compromise.

This year I went from max performance BFGoodrich summer tires to track-oriented Hankook RS4's, and the much stickier tire is a lot more fun to drive on at the track. The ROW M030 handles the stickier tires just fine, with no added roll or wallowing.
