Default Tein Ss Coilover

i have seen lots of reviews and comments on tein CS, FLEX, and HA but i don't see any reviews on SS. does anyone have it installed? i have 99 gs300 and i am thinking about getting SS. i decided to buy it just because of its price. what is the difference between SS and the rests (CS, FLEX, and HA)? i appreciate helpful comments. thank you

From my perspective SS stands for Super Stiff. That's it in a nutshell.

Do an advanced search, it's been discussed in detail before. You can also look up the spring rates on the Tein website and compare to the CS & Flex. Some people feel even the Flex is too stiff for their tastes.

flexs are pretty stiff to me... i let blue98gs3 borrow my stock 16's and we rode in his car, he had his flexs on the softest dampening and god it was pretty harsh to me... i could only imagine how it rode on 20"

i got tein cs on the stiffest dampening, trd sways bars, 20" and the ride is almost OEM minus the floaty feel.

EDIT:

my friend has tein SS in his acura CL and its pretty stiff too but i guess anything less than CS ur going to have some roughness to the ride
