im looking into getting a set of the DF210 series springs from tanabe...but they also have different series like the GF210 and NF210 series...is there any difference between these?...i know that the DF210 series offers the lowest drop but i dont want my car bouncing around like i cut my stock springs....are these comfortable springs and also what struts are you using with these and how do you like them?

The NF's lower the car about 1.2" and give the car a factory feel, the GF's lower the car about .8" and are more stiff.
