I was running the HR springs on my 235, and ride felt a bit harsh, so I jacked up the car took off the dust jacket and set down. Car is riding on the bumpstop.
I then jacked the car up again, and removed the bumpstop and set down. Car had maybe a half inch of free shock travel (would be none with any bumpstop).
I removed the spring, installed the stock spring and everything was back to spec. I checked the rear and seemed to almost be on the bumpstop as well.
I got in Dinan springs today, will not have time to install for a week or so, but out of the box, they are wider than HR and the standing on test (very scientific) seems to show they are significantly stiffer.
Just want people to be aware of the issue, as it is not visible without the dust shield removed. One caveat is I am running camber plates and M3 control arms. This does change the geometry. I would say anyone tracking the car should avoid the HR Springs.

HR Springs too weak for stock shocks.
