Some H&R coilovers on my car:

Before:


After:


Handling is much better. Car doesn't roll over which is nice. More confident making throttle adjustments mid turn than with the stock suspension.

Ride quality is definitely much stiffer than stock. It's not teeth shattering, but it's no longer a luxury ride (though you could argue stock suspension wasn't too cushy either). The valving on the shocks is much slower than stock, so big bumps you really feel. Small bumps not much of a difference.
