)as you may know; our car's stock springs are set to have a positive rake. the tanabe df210 springs (drop rate: f-1.1", r-1.4") allows for a larger drop at the rear in order to achieve a more 'evened out' look...and in person, it still looks aggressive and you can hardly notice the front is slightly higher...there's still a positive rake due to the car's natural lines/contours...
but so far, the ride quality and ride height is superb. plus, handling is more responsive.

yes, i opted for the df210s instead of the gf210s b/c i wanted a noticeable drop and an "evened out" look. and i agree with you, i also felt the drop for the GF was too small.
as far as the overall "ride" goes, it is very comparable to stock in terms of handling and it's more responsive when steering. ride height improves b/c the nose of the car dips lower than stock. you obviously feel more of the road as with any lowered vehicle, but i do not feel every bump on the road nor experience too much "bounce" either. they're pretty sturdy springs.
they're great springs for daily driving until i get enough change to buy coil overs.
if you have any more questions, just let me know.
