Default Lowering springs

Alright guys, I need some help. I purchased and installed some Tanabe NF210 springs about 6 months ago and one side has started sagging pretty bad. I bought the springs used so that may have something to do with it. I have inspected the suspension and everything looks good so the only thing I can think of is the springs. I am going to buy some new springs to see if that does the trick but my question is, what is the best quality lowering spring? from reading different posts, Swift and RSR are both popular brands that people seem to like but wanted to see if I could get any advice before pulling the trigger my next springs.

I have swift springs and really like them. The ride is just as comfortable as stock and the drop is sufficient imo. They’re definitely not as low as Tanabes. FYI, the car naturally sits a little lower on one side even on the stock suspension. Google “Lexus lean”

+1 on swift springs have them on for half a year still riding like stock and improves handling a bit. I also like the drop.

Looked into it but just don't wanna spend the cash on such a mild drop. The tanabe's sit too low for me at this point so I think I am going to try out the Swift springs and see how it does.

I have been on my Tanabes for a while. 8k miles on the springs and 85k on the car.
