Height wise they're around 35mm lower I'd guess - certainly seemed lower than 25mm, although that's comparing it to the ludicrously high Meridian spec springs. To put it into perspective it was low enough that I couldn't get my trolley jack under the subframe without first either putting a scissor jack under the sill to lift it a little or driving the front up onto a couple of bits of 2x4.
Comfort wise, I never had any complaints and I was doing 20k+ miles a year. A couple of others on here drove that car and liked it. Typically it's dampers that determine comfort though rather than springs - I ran mine with Skip Brown Bilsteins (basically re-valved B8's) which were firm but never crashy.
