Question Question on Function/Forms

Hey guys, just have a quick question. If I were to buy some function form type 2s and wanted to get an extra bit of drop by adding swift springs to them, which mm would I use for the spring? I was looking at buying some coilover swift springs but I'm not exactly sure which ones I would need to buy for a function form coil system. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for being a noob ahead of time.

I haven't purchased them as of yet, I've been browsing around trying to find what I can for what I can afford. So sadly, I have yet to get them, but I've gotten great reviews of the ff2s from my friend who used to roll with them on a 5th gen prelude and he loved them and got a drop to about a couple inches from the ground.

I have the ff2 on my Ge. Tbh I don't like them cause imho I think they're too bouncy.. Even with the proper preload. That's just me.. The rear keeps "jumping" every time I go over bumps, esp on the freeway. Heard the same thing from another Ge guy with same coils
But there are some who like them. They ride nice on my bros dc5 but I don't like them on the Ge. I would save and look at other companies(again my opinion through experience) but if you're just Tryina slam it then ehh
