I am happy enough with my Tokicos. Matches well with my Tokico springs (1" drop, ~50% stiffer). Excellent ride. Little play, still comfortable enough. I mainly went with these rather than AGX for the price, I got them shipped for ~$300. Zero complaints!
What is the spring rate on the Tanabe springs? I really wouldn't recommend Tokicos for anything stiffer or lower than the Tokico springs. 1" the damping is damn near perfect. Much more and you'll be underdamped, which makes for a bouncy ride, and something other people point and laugh at <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
