Don't do what I did and spend money trying out suspensions. Go with the good stuff from the beginning if you have any plans of upgrading in the future.
I agree that combo is a little undersprung, but I don't think the ride is harsh at all. In fact, I like the way it rides. If I had it to do over again I know what I do differently (TCK or PSS9), but I was able to pick everything up (Bilstein Sports, H&R Sport Springs, M3 strut bearings, Rogue RSM's, all new hardware and spring pads/plates) for a sweet deal and just couldn't justify the extra money at the time, especially when I needed other things (brakes, for one) replaced on the car as well. Now I know.
