Default Tein SS or HA

Can someone help me decide which tein coilovers to purchase? I want to get the super streets or I can get a used set of tein HA. Performance wise, which ones are better? What are the pros and cons on both.

I have the Tein SS and I love it. U can make it handle pretty stiff or ride as soft as stock. The cons to the SS are the adjustments. It is really imprecise so you should get the EDFC with it

performance wise, HA is better than the SS, it is tiffer setup, more harsh in general, but if u want a daily drive car, SS is your choice.

Last I checked the SSs replaced the HAs and were pretty much the same thing. Spring rates are the same and dampening is adjustable on both......so whats the difference again???

I can get a used set of HAs for about $250 less than some new SS, would this be worth it?

Probably not worth the risk of getting blown/worn shocks. That plus teins do rust. I'd personally buy new because Id hate to waste $600+ on used ones if they turn out to be crap.
