Tein Basic vs. Tein SS?

[duy2006si]

On the Tein website it has Tein Basic and Tein SS and it looks like they're both coil-overs. What's the difference? For 400 bucks less I'd get the Basics if they're adjustable. I want a nice drop but not from springs because the stock shocks will go and I don't want to have to be worrying about that, you guys know the difference if any?

pretty sure that they would be more performance oriented. mabye a little bit stiffer to provide better handling. more than likely the basics are toned down a notch to be more comfortable for daily driving. correct me if im wrong.

the SS is stiffer than the basic, the dampers are adjustable on the ss but not on the basic, the ss is edfc compatible and the basic is not, if u get the basic and it rides too stiff for u then u stuck with it...with the ss u can make it softer so that's a plus....other than that mentioned above i don't think there are other differences.
