sport springs are designed to lower vehicles to give them a more aggressive stance and reduce the vehicle’s fenderwell gap, reduce ride height and have higher spring rates and lowers the center of gravity which increasing the vehicle stability at very high speed. Sports are genrally used for the Driving in Dry and Track road.
Where as Comfort spring absorbs the vibrations and shocks very smoothly and generally used in snow and wet road.

Are you talking about factory springs or aftermarket. The aftermarker ones are similar - comfort springs tend to be lower spring rate (softer) and about 12mm lower than stock while sport springs tend to lower about 30mm give or take. I don't think the factory sport spring provide a full 1.4", but would guess around an inch compared to the base model springs. They are definitely a higher spring rate though and therefore stiffer.
If you don't intend to change the ride height, my guess is that you only need to replace your shocks and struts and can retain your factory springs. Save your money.
