Default Spring rates

Hey guys. I am in between buying some lowering springs for my car. I definately want a firmer ride with some nice lowering but looking more for performance. Unfortunately i cant do coilovers right now but maybe sometime this summer. I am in between tanabes GF210 and DF210. Does anybody know the spring rate of the GF210? And is the GF a firmer ride than the DF. Thanks for the help guys!!

DF210
-- Spring Rates: 7.3 kg/mm / 5.6 kg/mm
--Lower Height: Front: 2.0 inches / Rear: 1.5 inches

GF210 (unknown!)

I remember the GF210's came out for my mazda. They were advertised to be 20-30% stiffer than stock and an inch and a quarter drop all around
