Tanabe GF210 vs Swift Sport
I can't decide between which springs I want. The GF210s are a bit cheaper, but I had Swifts on my STI and loved them. I don't want to sacrifice any performance and couldn't care less for which one lowers the car more.
Which is better performance wise? Thanks!

I don't have a X, but I've used both of these springs on my VIII and most certainly the Swifts are better. The Tanabe's made the car sit funky. Again this is for an VIII. I measured factory ride height vs. my ride height from the ground the the fender and found that the Tanabe's lowered the car 2.25" front and about .25" rear. I wasn't pleased.
Just go with the Swifts

Swift Sport Mach ...... 2.7 - 4.3 kg ...... 2.3 - 4.4 kg .......... 1.0" / 0.6"
Tanabe GF210 ............. 4.5 kg ............... 3.5 kg ............... 0.7" / 1.1"
That's kind of a silly rate to use in the rear for the Tanabe's, and with a rear dropped .4 inches lower then the front I'd expect a fair bit of understeer.
