I am looking into getting tein but I am not sure which ones. I plan on starting autox and some road courses I just want to know the differences and some pros and cons

 

tein basics are like playschool - 'my first coilovers'
tein ss are like 'my second coilovers'

if your serious about autox go read about suspension in the autox forum

 

SS has adjustable shocks basic doesn't...

 

tein.co.jp

the basic dampers are fixed.
the ss dampers are 16 way adjustable - kicks ***, i love em. get the ss, they are well worth the extra 200 bucks.

 

tein.co.jp doesn't have specs on SS because SS is USDM only.

hah. what shock settings are you running on your ss? i just got em on and am now in the process of playing with them.
