Tokico Illuminas with what springs?

[Artago]

I want to dig this thread back up. I just found out today the H&R OEs are FWD specific. I was leaning twards them but now I dont know. Would the wieght of the drivetrain possibly cause the rear to sag overtime? Though you just said that its alright, I d be sceptical in doing it anyways. I would not like the rear ending up looking slightly lower at all. Who has experiance with the Tanabe springs?!?! I thought of those, the less agressive drop ones. I believe they are GF series not the DF. When I searched on here there is not much info.
Edit, I definately want something stiff to avoid bottoming out my exhuast. Itd be nice to not compromise the ride. Im likely going with Illuminas unless I can afford koni yellows. Want under a 1.5inch drop.

Personally I have never seen Tanabe's spring rates posted anywhere so I don't know what to expect from those. H&R has not provided their spring rates either but we've been told they are 15- 20% stiffer over stock. Not solid numbers but at least it's something.

I've also considered the Illumina's because they give a nice and small drop but I've heard some members complaining they sag over and go really low. Combined with the fact that they have almost stock spring rates, FRONT: 280 vs 265 and REAR: 160 v 160, has convinced me they are not the way to go.

I think I'm going to try the H&R OEs because I've heard some good reviews from reputable members I know on the board here. I have yet to decided on the shocks but I'm leaning towards the Koni Yellows.

Just my $0.02

I guess the FWD specific part doesnt worry you then does it Tom? Those springs still fit AWD rear shocks? I d like to hear from someone AWD that actually has them.
Found info on tanabe, no clue how true it is:
Lower 1.1 up front, .9 in rear


The GF210 coil spring is geared towards maximum performance, without compromising daily driveability. These springs provide a very noticeable gain in performance when installed.

The GF210 is well mated with a performance shock upgrade to extract the full potential of the coil spring, but will also work with factory equipment.

Specifications
Featuring increased spring rates of 20-30% over stock, Grip Feeling is more oriented towards performance. Lowering the ride height 1 1/24 to 1 1/2in (30-40mm) gives the car an aggressive stance, while providing a lower center of gravity for an increased amount of turning stability.

High Quality
The ultra-lightweight, ultra-durable, and ultra-precise 210 series springs are created through Tanabe's newly developed shot-peen technology and state-of-the art German machinery.
