I haven't seen any opinions regarding the tein ss on cl.

and yes i have searched ... Help me out here, anyone who has the tein ss can you give me some feedback..thanks.

 

I believe the SS replaced the HA but the product is the same or basically the same. Look for Tein HA. I have a set of HA's on my GS

 

HA are discontinued thats why i was looking at the SS as the alternative.

 

right, I was saying that I think its the same thing and they just changed the name. I could be wrong, but if thats why they did then all of the HA writeups will apply to the SS

 

ss replaces the HA and from what i know the ss is even stiffer

 

The HA spring rates were 14/10 while the SS is 14/12, a bit stiffer in the rear.

 

man this is good, chris. i never seem to be able to remember any numbers except the amount of debt i am in...

 

its funny, I can never remember the rear rates, only the front. I remember HA bring 14, flex being something like 9 or 10 and CS being 7 or so.

GSSOUP with that being said, just read the reviews on HA's on this site to get a idea of what the SS are like. I can tell you this, I am lowered about 2.25-2.5" on HA with 20" wheels and when I drive in Brooklyn and NYC, its annoying because the car is so stiff. Its doesnt bounce or buck or anything, but its just stiff, so bumps go BAM! lol

For a day or so its not bad, but after a 3 day weekend or so, I'm glad to get back on the road to CT!

 

past experience i know what to expect but i was looking for something stiff thats why i was looking at the HA's but i'm getting the ss...i don't like the mushy stuffff......... plus my car is not a daily driver ..i take the silver limo (mass transit) into work , it s easier i have the conductor..cough cough i mean the chaffuer that tells me where we're going and he even opens the doors for me.

i'll tell you how stiff they are after i get them and i start doing donuts and try to get some drifting action with them...
