Default Lower Drop on 17": Tanabe NF210 or L-Tuned?

I'm still trying to decide on Tanabe NF210's or DF210's. I'm concerned that DF210's might ride too harsh. Do Tanabe NF210's drop lower than L-Tuned springs? Tanabe's website states 1.2F/0.8R for GS430's whereas I believe L-Tuned used to advertise a 20MM drop, which is less than an inch. I used to have L-Tuned on my GS3 and the drop appeared more than 20MM. I've crossed Daizen's off the list b/c I hear they are too harsh a ride.

Tanabe states a 10-15% spring rate increase for the DF210's which doesn't sound too rough. Any help on what to choose?

Need to search homie. This topic has been beaten with a stick. the NF's drop 1.5F/1R. Front drops more than the Ltuned. I just ordered my espelirs. they drop 1.7F 1.2R. Keeps the same spring rate as stock so ride is nice

I've beaten the search with a stick also.... I should have phrased the question better. NF210's for GS430's (1.2F/0.8R) don't drop as low as NF210's for GS300's (1.5F/1.0R), so it seems that the GS430 drop on NF210's would be more in line w/ the L-Tuned drop.
