I didn't even think about the Tanabe's. I think I'm going for the TEIN Basics. I can get them for around $600. I hear they are a good daily driver and offer good track response. And no that is not my EK9. I can't remember where I got that pic. It's in Japan though. I downloaded it cause of the STEELIES!!! Thanks for the opinions. Keep em coming please! J'Dizzle
