4th Generation 97 Camry 4Cyl Spring/Shocks help!

first off, this is my first post in the forums ^^

well right now i have a stock 97 camry.

my 4 shocks is already blown, and i have already bought KYB RG-2's, reason i got those is because i got hooked up and it was very cheap, i know KYB isn't as stuff as tokico's but oh well.

since i am going to change the shocks, i decided i might aswell lower my car, the problem is, for the past 2 days i been trying to find pictures of 4th gen camry's lowered, but could not find any.

ive read the strut/springs guide, but didn't really find much info..
right now im leaning towards

Tein S-Tech F:1.5 R:0.6
Eibach F:1.2 R:1.2
H&R F:1.4 R:1.3

those r the three that im willing to buy, because i can get all these at cost price.

I orignally wanted to get S-Techs, but someone has told me, that S-techs are really soft, compared to the eibach and H&R's

now that leads to my questions.
1. Which one is more suitable for daily driving? Something not to soft though.
2. Which one gets rid of the original look?(at stock, the front looks higher then the rear), so im guessing one dat lowers the front more than the rear?
3. Which one is the stiffest and which one is the weakest?

looking at the stats comparing H&R and S-techs, H&R lowers the back significantly more then S-techs, does make the car look like original, as in. the car is lowered, but the front will still looking higher, due to the fende lining?

if possible, can you guys help me out by posting pictures of your cars lowered, and what springs/shocks they are, maybe by looking at pictures i can decide which one/which brand will suit my taste.

sorry for all these questions, i just really want to get the right one and not regret it.

thanks in advance, hope i get some feedback =)
