Default Lowering springs for the gs300 for comfort?

Hey guys we have a 1993 Gs300 with a 2jzgte swap. It's my wife's car and she's considering lowering the gs a bit, but will like to keep it as close as possible to stock ride confort. Roads are a bit bumpy (arizona) reason why she want's something that rides almost like stock. What options do we have for the mk1 gs300 as far as lowering springs that will meet these needs? Thank you

Probably, Eibach Pro-Kit springs. The drop will be minimal as I think they only lower the car about an 1" and a 1/4".

I enjoy the tanabe's... not very harsh in my opinion.

I have the Tan Abe DF 210 paired with the KYB GR2 and the ride quality is great. Not too low, not too stiff. I was on 17s and it was great just swapped over to 19s and now its a bit rough but all in sidewall now not spring rate.

My PBM coilovers are pretty stiff. I would go with bilstein shocks with coilover conversion on it.
