Default Lowering springs/Which one?

I just posted my first greed here yesterday
and now I want to work on some mods for my GS

Of course, the first mod is going to be lowering but I'd like to get some advise from you guys so please help me out!

Option 1: Tanabe springs - front 2.0inch rear 1.8inch (DF210)

Option 2: Eibach springs - front 1.3inch rear 1.2inch

Option 3: F-Sport springs - front and rear roughly about 1inch

Out of these three I like Tanabe the most only because it will lower my ride the lowest(which I like) but ride after lowering is also very important I don't want to ruin too much from how stock rides

p.s how about brake rotors and pads? (Drill/slot rotors)

I have DF210's right now but am switching over to coilovers soon (just need to find time to install them). The car is (obviously) bumpier than stock. I personally like the DF's because IMO, give the perfect drop. All the others you mentioned aren't low enough for my taste.

If you're interested in my DF210's, shoot me a PM. I can even install them for ya.
