Although the car does not "bounce", you do feel all up and down movement of the front end.
I could've sworn you told me the car was "bouncy". No matter, your description makes sense for a stiffer spring. Anyways, I haven't heard of the Tanabe springs sagging. Mine sure didn't, had them on over a year. The DF210's would be the same drop you have now but softer.

Progressive springs are H&R, also a good choice, but a milder drop than you have now.

I run prokits with tokico reds...unless you just want a look... to low can be a problem as you have found out. I have a slammed excort gt and it's useless except for a quick run to a close store.

Per our conversation, I did use the word "bouncy"
It does not "bounce" in a sense that it is out of control, or "just going up and down" because the strut can't control the spring.

I had a Nissan where the strut could not contol the spring. The tires "cupped" in about 2500 miles. This is not the same sensation.

The better term is "it follows the road" and the roads are not smooth.
The car sticks like glue. When traveling down the highway at night, you can see the headlights raise and lower as it shines on signs in the distance.

It seems to be more of a problem on concrete roads, rather than asphalt.
