Arospeed makes **** parts anyways. You don't want those springs, or anything else they make.

I just got some Tanabe GF210 springs but the car won't be on the road for a while. So, I can't tell you how they are yet. I'll probably use AGX's with them, but I'm not 100% sure yet. The springs are supposed to give a 1.5" drop, but my stockers are sagging so it won't be that much for me. These springs are fairly new and I don't know of anyone else using them on an FC...
