Default Tien difference

Just wondering if anyone knows the difference between the Basic & the Super Street besides that one uses the EFDC for the track and Street control. Is there really another difference?

the springs arent worth the price.. the super streets arent worth the price.. the only tein worth the price are the flex's which you can use the edfc with but really isnt required for non track use.. go with flex's and watch you level of stableness improve 10fold..

Flex's have slightly higher spring rates....and they are height adjustable without affecting strut rod travel....

as said before basic's and S/S's have the same spring rates....they just aren't adjustable struts.....

Basic and S/S's have 8 front and 4 rear for spring rates
FLEX have 9 front and 5 rear

Actually SS's have 8k front and 6k rear and Flex's have 9k front and 4k rear, those are the Integra spring rates check the Tein website.

I did check the TEIN web site....but I looked for Civic's 96-00 So I'm sure we are both right.

I have had the SS's for over 2 years. I like them and have no complaints about them. With the damper adjusted all the way to soft, the ride feels almost stock. Adjusted hard, its handles like a go kart. The ITR rear sway bar complements the SS's nicely.

right now the fronts are at 5 and the back at 6 or 7. i havent messed with them all winter, but on most roads the ride is decent while the handling is still responsive.
