I am having a serious dilemma with this decision... Are we looking at about the same drop/ride style with both? I really like the Teins, but they are a little more expensive, am I losing anything by settling with the Tanabes; or more-so gaining anything with the Teins?

tough call. They are VERY similar. I would try to get a ride in someone's car that has a pair.

I happen to like the Teins, but thats just my opinion.

The comparative ride would be nice, but no one around me even has an xB. let alone a modified one. I too was partial to the Teins, and really, on eBay, the price difference is minimal if any after shipping, I think I'm going to go with the Teins, unless others can convince me otherwise ;)

Arent the NF 210's comparable to the H-Tech, as far as drop?

yes^^^.......go tenabe

Well another concern of mine is that I cant have a SERIOUS drop, my driveway is off of about a 30* hill with like a 2 inch lip to get on, and I frequently have to drive over dirt rodes with irregularities in them, so, would either of these give me a good sleek look while not dropping so far that Im going to fudge up my under carriage or body work?

they both drop only 1.75" other drop more..hotchkis may be another choice also

watch out for the counterfeits if you're going through ebay...if i remember right tein had a disclaimer on their website telling you what to look out for
