FD3S lowering spring options

hey guys, currently have some mazdaspeed coils installed and it rides horrible, looking to go with lowering springs and oem sock absorbers. I have two options, tein s-tech and bridgestone Potenza damper for street spring and shock combo, both costs the same. I have heard a lot of info on the tein s-tech's but non on the bridgestone setup

I think the Bridgestone potenza dampers were made by Tokico but these are not common here in the States. There's a good chance they're rebadged Tokico Illuminas if they're dampening adjustable but don't quote me on that.

No personal experience, but a third option....I've heard positive comments on H & R's for the FD for lowering while keeping the ride quality tolerable.
