Tein has a gallery on its website, found by going to their products page, selecting one and finding the specific application. http://www.tein.com/ti/a16.html should be yours.
The S-Techs are generally pretty soft, very confortable for street use but dont offer much of an improvement performance wise. According to Tanabe's site they are slightly stiffer in the front than the Teins, but not by a whole lot. ~40lb/in or so. The rears are almost the same rate. By that, both should do very well on the street ride-quality wise.
The Tanabe's are an even drop, so more in the back than the Teins.
I dont have any personal experience with either so I cant comment on the quality, but both are reputable names so I would have no qualms with either.
