Mild Drop Springs Suggestions

good day fellow FF members

So here goes, here in PH we really have bad roads (bumps, potholes, cracks etc). I'm currently running these rim/tire specs:

-17x7.5 +45 offset
-205/45 tires
-5mm spacers rear

now i'm not really looking to drop the hell out of my fit but maybe a good 1-1.5"? inch drop at most since usually im riding with 3 more passengers and some cargo on the trunk. Currently having 3 finger gap front and 4 finger gap rear on stock springs.

Springs available here and the ones i'm thinking about are the following:

-Tein H-Tech
-Eibach Pro Kits
-Tanabe NF210

I have a budget to go with BC racing v1 coilovers though my Fit will be DD and i guess coils are just to over kill so mainly i'm more concerned with the ride (closest to stock as possible or even softer? since stock is quite harsh TBH). Rubbing as well as when i carry like 3 more passengers and trunk cargo.

Tried to research about H-techs but there are maybe none to 2 reviews out there but no actual pictures (that i know of) installed on a Fit. So i'm kinda leaning towards the Eibachs now.

I really like Swift springs because of the mild drop and the testimonials i read here though it is not locally available. But if anyone with a kind heart who can ship em to me here in PH and a progress RSB, i'd love you eternally. LOL

Any inputs will be much appreciated. Thanks!

if you're worried about the ride quality, you should put the stock tires back on it

well yeah point taken and gambled with changing the rims and tires. I'm just sayin' and askin' if with those 3 springs, which actually fulfill my needs?

I know swifts will be my ultimate choice but it ain't available here and online shops don't ship here as well.. sucks

^ yeah actually contacted one of my cousins there and he said that he can get it at evasivemotorsports. Is that the best deal i can get the swifts for? i've read somewhere here that they got the swifts more cheaper with the Progress RSB.. not sure though
