Springs Question! Help

Hey guys got a 08 g37s and currently in the market for some aftermarket springs. I am aware of the H&R springs, tein s tech and eibachs however im looking for something that will give me a clean 1.5inch drop front and rear. I like the drop on the H&R's but its too low for everyday driving ( i think its 2inch drop). Tein s techs have a problem with sagging rears after settling and eibachs dont offer enough drop for the money. So i was seeing if theres anything between the H&R's and the eibachs? I Tried searching but couldnt find anything, i apoligize in advance if this is a repost.

Might want to look at the Swift Springs, get great reviews as far as being a comfortable ride for a Daily Driver and the drop is even and won't require camber/toe kits. Here's a couple threads

No camber kit needed for my coupe with Swifts. Alignment was all within OEM specs.

Swifts are quality springs, you won't regret it. Hope you don't mind the scraping.

Can't say since I don't personally own them but from all I've read and the many pics I've seen it looks like it drops just right at 1.5" or a bit less. Certainly not a deep drop.

The man preaches!

This is correct. It's higher than an Eibach drop, but certainly noticeable vs. OEM height.

They also do not sag. I got an alignment a few days after getting it installed. Ride height has remained exactly the same 1k miles later.

Swift advertises the coupe as 1.3/1 drop. The spring rates are different for it and the sedan.
