Default Least aggressive drop

First time posting after a lot of searching.

It seems like RS-R Downs are the springs that will offer the mildest drop on preface lift F sport. Am I correct or is there another option

Thank you

I went with the Tanabe NF210's. There is also an option from Sprint.

I think the swift spring is the least aggressive.

I don't think the Tanabe's are that aggressive. It's just right IMO. Here's a pic of mine.

Tanabe is the nicest way to drop it here is some pics on mine, and no rubbing at all.

Swift or RSR Downs I think are the least aggressive springs
