Pretty broad question, but I know with all the info I know about both companies, what I've known from driving customers cars, and using both products before on personal cars, I can say that ST's are easily the better coilover for daily driving. H&R's aren't very comfortable (at least for me they weren't, they were good if I was still 18, but not anymore, that's for sure).

I'd pick the ST's based on cost, based on comfort levels, based on the 5 year warranty that comes with it, and the biggest fact which is that they're made by KW.

Let me know if you need any help with pricing on those

Tough question, never driven on the B14's before if I'm honest.

Personally id go with the ST. Good reputation and cost.
