tanabe/tokico. how long?

getting a cheaper set up and thinking about purchasing a set of used tanabe DF210s with tokico blue/hps. used only for a couple of months. the DFs are supposed to be a little bit of performance, but more for show. how long do you think i can go until i thrash the tokicos? can anybody tell me any info on the springs? did countless searches on various forums, went to the site, and nothing worth while came up. don't know the spring rates, height drops, or anything. the site and all online stores put general info (2-2.5 inch drop, 10-15% increased spring rate, etc.) any help would be appreciated...

btw, i know some of you guys are gonna flame at the poor choice of footwork, but if you read my other thread, my suspension is out. unknown springs mated to stock shot shocks, and one shock that is for some reason or another, fully decompressed...sooo...

DF is the Drop Feeling. They are to make you car low. There are no real performance gains.

GF is the performance line.
