Default Tein S Techs v Tanabe NF210's

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 ;)

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?
