The Pro-Streets are super stiff. the Pro-SS's have a very nice ride. They also have adjustable damping.

I have it on my 94 HB. I'm very happy with them. I picked the pro SS because of the drop. It can be lowered up to 3 1/2". I have my settings at 1 in front and 3 in the rear for the city. The ride is a little on the stiff side but still very nice. The harder you work these suspension the better they perform.

I have the Tein NA on my EK coupe. I got to say its just flat out INCREDIBLE!!! if you have the dollars go for the HA because they still have the 16 adjustable dampening but you get a threaded coil so you can corner weight. Try it out. i'm sure you won't be disappointed.

they look identical except that on the Pro-SS's, the front dampers have an adjustment **** on the top of the damper and the rear dampers have a lil adjustment dial (like AGX's). Aside from that, they're both orange. I may be able to get Pro-SS's for $1150. Check out http://www.mackinindustries.com ...they may have some pics.
