Hey, I was thinking about ordering some Tanabe Lowering springs, but not sure if there is a better brand? Other than that do you guys have any tips? That may help me!
-Thanks in advance!

Better off getting coils.
It seems to cost more upfront, but it doesn't. I never ended up caring to lower the car in the end, but if i did it would've been coilovers.
You can get a set for ~1k or spend 3-400$ on springs, then installation and down time [~300$]. Then you risk the springs blowing the struts making it an even worse ride - back to the shop for new struts made for lowering springs & install, there's 600$, etc... plus all the hardware.
Get coilovers, unless you're set on lowering a little bit....

I have the Tanabe springs with Tokico struts and the ride is dreadful.

With that out of the way hahaha, if you do plan on going lower, then save you self the time and money and get coilovers. now if you do not plan to go lower, you just want the car to sit better and handle a little better, then get springs and some struts that can "take" lowering springs.
I mean you want the biggest drop for the buck, KSport springs. Ride quality I mean, for me i didnt really notice the discomfort of having lowering springs. Felt almost like stock to me.
This is jut my 2 cent
