Default Swift, RSR, Tanabe, Other?

So after so many have had all these different Springs can you all help me and others who wish to accomplish the same thing please I want too? I read all the different threads of the past. So like a few I want the softest riding Springs that does Not go the lowest. Just want the slight drop look is all. Seems I have seen all different comments, about Springs. For reference: I have a 2013 RWD Lux with AVS.

So with that are Tanabe's NF 210 Springs the softest riding Spring with the least (slightest), drop? I read so post saying they were bouncy, but saw a few say the others Sprigs were bouncy? Tell me what you Guys know that have them please? Thanks!

BTW I am running the 2016 - 2020 19" F Sport wheels with 245/40/19 Tires all the way around.

To my knowledge from lowest to mild is RSR Superdowns...Tanabe then RSR Downs which is what I am running and love them..Car is not slammed and rides just like OEM and after 30+k miles on then no issues with any of the shocks failing or leaking.

If you decide you want to go with the RSR Super Downs I have a set BNIB that I'm not going to use, I went the coilover route instead.

Mildest drop would be swift springs which provides .08in drop all around. Im running on swift and have not encountered any issues, they are also very close to OE ride quality.

I thought that the Tanabe had the "Least amount of drop?

Also is it true that the Tanabe's are taller springs (not on car but uncompressed out of the box? I remember seeing a pic of them laying together uninstalled but cant find it again.

Swifts looked best in my non-expert eyes but not many owners here have it...

Josh thanks! I'm kinda more interested in the other way from the most popular like just a small group of others here. I'm trying to get info on -- what aftermarket spring gives the least amount of drop?
- what aftermarket spring measures the tallest not on the car.
- what aftermarket spring rides the softest?

Now as many 4th Gen members who have done springs I know some of you guys can help with this please? lol! Thanks!

PS: I am also looking for a set of 2016 - 2020 take off struts if anybody has some they want to get out of their way.
