Default Anyone go from gf210's to df210s?

I have some 04 spec gf210s on my wrx with tokico dspecs but i'm getting tired of the stiffness. Has anyone made the same switch to df210s? I've been reading on here and df210s are supposedly very comfortable which is what i want. My car is a daily driver and does not see the track.

I'm asking here because i forgot to mention the springs are 05+ spec. You'd be surprised how many people are running df210's on here.

DF210s lower the car too much.

UMMMM... last time i check the GF210s and DF210s both drop the car by an inch...? Just different spring rates.

I run DF210s on mine, and I think Im a respectable STI owner?

the DF210s do lower the car more.

but it's less than other DF210 applications. here it is an additional .3" over the GF210s.

maybe "respectable" wasn't the right term
