Default Tein S or H for 06 XA?

Not much response in the Corner Carvers area so I thought I would repost here. I have had my 06 XA for a week now and I love it. I really would like to reduce the gap between the fenders and tires though. My biggest concern is I do not want the ride to be worse. Some have said that they actually ride better with some aftermarket springs - others say worse. Looking for more input, especially pictures of Tein H or S equiped XA's. Also looking to hear from other XA owners in the Phoenix/ East Valley area.
Thanks!

I have Tein S-techs on my xA, and the ride is noticeably stiffer. Its not bone-jarring, but you can feel a difference. And this is on the stock shocks.

I think 95% of people will tell you to get the S tech since you get the 2 inch drop. For me, I went with the H tech because i like the more subtle 1.1 inch drop and I like the ride better - not as stiff as the S tech.

I'm going with h.techs for my toaster. Softer ride, and not too low where I'd be scraping everywhere.
