Question Eibach Pro-kit OR Tanabe NF-210

I've narrowed it down to purchasing one of these two springs. I need opinions on which one would be better. Im looking for a drop of about 1" or slightly less, with a nice comfortable ride. I want the front end to be slightly lower than the rear. Ive tried to make sense of the "sticky" posted about all the various different kinds of springs. From what I read it looks like the tanabes NF-210 will be softer, than the OEM springs on my '05 coupe w/ sport suspension. IF thats true, will a softer/lower spring rate cause a "bouncier" ride??

Would the Eibach pro-kit give me a closer to stock feel during normal driving?
ANY help would certainly be appreciated. By the way, im planning on running my stock struts unless a set of D-specs would yield me a smoother ride.


p.s. Im came from an '01 Maxima running "K-Sport" 36-way adjustable coilovers that were extremely harsh!!! Ouch..

I went from tanabe DF210s to Eibach pros. The DFs were too low. Both have good spring rates to me. I have Tokico shocks and you can really tell the difference in adjustments from soft to firm. I have them at 4 out from soft and it rides pretty close to stock in my opinion.
Hope that helps

im looking for a near-to-stock comfort ride, with going less than 1" all the way around. To be specific im looking into the NF210 vs the eibach prokit.
