Opinions on Tanabe GF210 springs

Might be picking up a set used and getting a killer deal on them. Just wondering how long my stock struts are going to survive and what peoples' overall opinions are on this particular spring. If I can get by another year on the stock struts with the tanabe's on then I'd consider it a good deal. If I'm going to end up with a blown strut in a couple months, I'm thinking maybe I should steer clear.

Thanks for any input/advice.

Did you contact me?
I stock those springs and even run 'em on my own cars.

Sorry Paul, I didn't. I purchased them used for $80 incl. shipping so I felt like I got a pretty decent deal. Modding on a tight budget has kept me in the market of used (or traded) parts lately but I'll keep you in mind for any other stuff I may be adding.

Also, would you recommend pulling apart the front struts and cutting the bump stops? Keeping the OEM struts for now. Probably be looking at some KYB AGX's next year.
