Drop it like it is hot bro~ I don't know how much you might want to spend but if you want to do it cheap may I suggest TEIN. A 1.6" drop will be perfect for you to maintain the ride yet look just right. Don't do Tanabe as I have learned my lesson on that one, they crap out. If you got the money then Coilovers are the best way to go but kind of a pain to setup. I like the wheels BTW, I actually considered those myself; but I am a puss and after 4 years I still haven't made that leap yet. LOL

The Tanabe springs relax pretty fast over time. You don't want that if you have a set drop in mind. Four years ago I originally had a 2" drop with the DF's and after time I would guess it sagged down to 3 inches which started rubbing on stock rims and tires. Not good! Tein are more lifetime like, they will still sag but not nearly as much or quickly.

^ maybe you got a bad set of springs? I havent heard of this with the exception of your car. I have no problems. If this does happen I will have JIC coils on my cars. There are no other springs that offer the drop the DF does for this car. I had Tein on the last car and they are good but if you read on them for the GS they are not the best option for spring rate and drop IMO.

LOL! but seriously, like mike said, your tanabe springs could have been defective. lowering springs should not sag unless you installed springs that were not made for your car.
