Default Spring question.......

I have L-tuned Springs and Shocks and want a little more of an aggressive drop, but I still want to maintain ride comfort that I currently have with my L-tuned set up. I'm not in the budget for coilovers because if so, I would be going with Tein CS's. I have been looking at the Tanabe DF210. If I decided to use the Tanabe's with L-tuned Shocks, what type of ride can I expect to have? Will the L-tuned shocks hold up or will I have to buy the Bilistiens? Do the Tanabe's have a more of an agressive drop? Thanks for all the help...

L-tuned shocks should hold up fine. DF is an aggressive drop. Looks like 2.0/F 1.5/R drop. Whereas L-tuned is around 1.25 in front and 1.0 in rear. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

L-tuned is about 20mm all around, so just a hair under 1".

How aggressive do you want? How much lower do you want compared to your current setup? Espelir springs are pretty aggressive in dropping your car, and it has close, if not the same spring rate as OEM springs.
