Default Tein H Tech vs. Tanabe NF210

Need help on this one. Just got a box and it needs to be lowered. I need a compromise between looks and comfort. I think I have it narrowed down between these two choices. So, which spring would provide the most comfortable ride for commuting?

Thanks for the response. Do you do a lot of freeway driving? How's the ride with the Tein's comapre to the stock ride?

I'm rockin' the H techs. Out here in Chicago, lots of cracks, bumps and potholes, so a 1 inch drop was fine for me, especially since I always have people in my Box anyways, looks even lower. Definitely a "tighter and smoother" ride over stock...

Definitely, stiffer. But not bad. The really big pot holes will wake you up if you're not paying attention. lol But they're fine. The longest trip I've taken with them was about 200mi. and it was comfortable. Hope that helps. PEACE!!!

i have H Techs, coupled with monroe struts youll get a decent drop and a smooooth ride.
I daily drive my car atleast an hour and a half a day. I dont think I would be able to cope w/ a stiff ride.

I dont know how the Htechs drive by themselves, I installed them the same time I replaced struts/shocks w/ monroes. The ride is much smoother and sportier (maybe in my head?) then stock.
