Default Tanabe GF210 spring reviews?

Hey everyone, my friend is currently looking to get the Tanabe GF210 spring for his S2K. He's considering getting them because he's considering modifying his S2K. It's currently a daily driver, but he does some mild spirited driving. I was wondering, does anyone happen to own a set of these springs? Hopefully someone can provide their own insight onto this spring, and a few pictures of the drop as well! Thanks for all the help!

Don't bother asking about Tanabe's, just get Swifts.

I friend had Tanabe's on his car and drove my car with Swifts.... Now he's riding on Swifts.

Tanabe's feel bouncy for some reason. Anyways look into it.

I had Gf210's on my old subaru impreza 2.5rs and I was very happy with them... I also had KYB AGX adjustable shocks. I got them because they have a linear spring rate. Springs like Eibachs have progressive spring rates which I don't like because suspension feedback changes depending on how hard of a corner you are taking. I don't know anything about swifts, but a bouncy car can usually be cured with the proper damping rates. His shocks could be worn, and maybe the Tanabe's have a higher spring rate than the swifts which would make it bounce more. Just my .02
