Default Bilstein HD, what springs

So I just bought a set of Bilstein HD struts but I'm having a hard time deciding on springs or stock springs. I've read that you should stay with the stock springs with the HDs. But I would like a little drop. Any ideas?? Thanks for any input.

Can't speak for any other springs, but the Tanabe DF210 are mild enough for stock-type struts and retain most of the ride quality. The drop is enough to improve the appearance but doesn't affect day-to-day use at all.

I have the Eibachs with the HD's & love it. Smooth over the bumps but tightens up on turn-in. They only lower it inch front & rear so u don't get much scrapping in and out of driveways either.

You can look at the Vogtland brand as well they gave a nice drop with good handling.
