Opinions of Tanabe df210 and JDM STI v7 pink springs. Advice asap please

So, here's the story quick and simple.

I have JDM STI v7 pink springs AND tanabe df210 springs. I have KYB AGX struts, brand new.

I want to be lower than stock but have the best performance. Which springs are the better choice?

Any info is helpful. Thank you!

checkin in the a.m.

So reading up on the springs has onl left me more confused. The tanabe rates say 3K and 2.6K. The pinks say 200 and 185... There's no way the tanabes are 15-20 times stiffer right? That just doesn't make sense...

So here's my other question, would running the KYB AGX's at a stiffer rate help compensate for the softness of the tanabe? I really like the drop of them but don't want to throw all my handling out the door either.
