I have the Koni Yellow adjustables and I LOVE them. I'm not sure about the H&R springs, but if they are not progressive like mine you might have a stiffer ride then my setup with the Prokit Eibach springs.

The adjustablity on my Konis are GREAT! You can really soften them up for a really comfortable daily driven ride. I don't have any probs with my daily driven Cobra with the Konis set to the max on stiffness. I prefer it that way.

Personally, as long as you can adjust those shocks you won't have a problem;they have a pretty good range of adjustment.
