Sorry but I did not see the SS's in that comparison. Are they the same as the flex?

it is not just stiffer.
The SS is using a relatively basic shock design, so demping force is not as smooth as the traditonal Tein. i heard rumors that the Tein SS are built in Taiwan, that why the pricing can be lower than the traditional Japanese Tein coilovers.
