Default Lowering Springs - Which to choose?

I have read various articles on here regarding a bunch of different springs and it seems like the consensus is RS-R or the F-Sport springs, I am down to those or the eibach, I want a pretty equal measurement in the front and rear with the end product and I want to be able to put some spacers on. I am worried about the car driving differently and not driving like it does stock, I have had bad experiences with springs before but I have had good experiences with bags and coils. Wondering what everyones suggestions are?!

If you lower the car it’s not going to drive like stock. You’re changing the geometry.

Bassically, springs are for the casual drop. Ride quality diminished.
Coils that are properly tuned will get you much better handling and "sport car" feel. Expect ride quality to be rough. Tires gone within 15-20k.
Bags are expensive and a pain in the *** to install. But very nice to have the hight adjustments whenever you want.

For F-sport 350 with AVS, Coils take away AVS, Bag or Air not just lame to install also the endlink rubs against the strut at the rear.
for is350 fsport i think H&R springs is the good choice ? you keep your AVS ?
