To me it's not softer. I did not notice a big difference in ride quality per say, as the car still rides smoothly for normal driving. Once you hit the twisties though, they are great and I feel the difference.

wow. that z is sexy as hell. I had my mazda3 lowered a little over 2 inches and had a hard time driving it around town, so I have been hesitant to really consider dropping the z. that looks so sexy I may just have to do it....

Don't worry about it. Just learn to take the angled turns out of driveways and you're good. I rarely scrape and normally only do when im in a hurry

Drop wont be more but there would probably be less gap. Heres a pic I took of my friends car with the same Tanabe GF210 springs. He has 19' Volk Sf-Winnings.

Both of our cars are running everything on suspension stock except the springs. so you can expect that look.

You can see it and mine in person if you ever come up to norcal

heres some more pics, we had a photoshoot yesterday:
