i am trying to order the ha setup and they guy i am ordering from says that HA's are different in the back (they are made for the R's in japan). Anyways he says that the SS's are the same. I am gonna get them if they are so if anyone knows help a brotha out.

 

I had the HA's on my 99 Si and liked them alot. I just bought the SS's for my 92 hatchback and like them too. The shock is the same 16 way adjustable steel body, the springs on the SS are one piece (HA's have a two piece spring (1) helper spring very soft, and a regular spring). I forget the spring rates, but when you crank up the shocks, they get super stiff

Only complaint is the steel body which rusts if you drive in snow, etc. I put anti-sieze on the threads and don't have a problem.....besides, I corner balance, set and forget

 

any other measures to protect from rust?

 

every month or so, you can spray wd40 and that will do the job.
