Lowering spring: who makes the softer ride

I want to lower my hamster a bit for the looks, not for performance.
But at all possible, I also want to increase the confort in city driving because that is essentially what this car was bought for.
There at least 10 manufacturers out there. Tanabe NF210 would have been my choice if it wre available for the USDM market.
So what should I go for?

tanabe gf-210's get my vote, progressive spring rate

Very comfy when riding around the city, aggressive when you need it to be

and if you want to get those, PM me, i can get it to you at a great price

In my research Vogtland had the softest starting rates.

I would have loved an Air Ride!...or a Mercury Grand Marky!

But I have a Fit instead. So I ordered the Tanabe GF210 from Modacar with a great discount. I would have considered the Vogtland but could not find any specs, even on their Home site.
If something "smooter" hits the market b-4 next spring, I might have the GF2.10 for sale
