Ive driven HD shocks on other cars and they are dampened! I like is since its a performance car anyway.
Here is a pic of my eibach car (right) with CGFENs car (stock suspension) on the left:

Are we talking about the non-adjustable H&R coilovers as shown here? http://www.automotion.com/productpage.aspx?pid=103047
While they are price competitive with Bilsteins + Springs, please consider that they have serious longevity issues. I had three out of four struts fail to the point of losing their oil when I ran them on the Audi. Actually all four had long since lost their damping. If you know any vendors who with speak frankly with you, ask them--lots of warranty claims. Note that in order to take advantage of their warranty, the strut must have literally dumped its oil all over your suspension, wheel etc. And they won't replace them in pairs if one fails! Just avoid them like the crap that they are.

i was thinking more along the lines of the H&R PCS line of coil overs.
