If you're not going to track your car or auto-x it, then your probably going to want to pick the Tein's. The Tanabe's are pretty stiff and it can get annoying driving daily on them. I'm just speaking from experience. I've had my them on my car for about a year and have had a love/hate relationship with them.

The Tanabe's do perform if that's what you're mostly looking for. The bumpy ride gets old after awhile, but when you want to turn, that's when you start to appreciate them.
