Default Tein SS

Is anybody running the Tein SS? What are your impressions of them? How do they compare to the CS and Flex?

I am... i have the SS w/ an EDFC i like them because it gets lower than the CS with a more sporty drive but not loud like the FLEX or HA if you've ever driven a Porshe its has a similar drive feel to it with it on full stiffness on full soft its not as cushy as the CS but you dont loose much ride...

Are you referrering to "Romini's" write up ? His write up was on the TEIN HA right? Did the SS replace HA?

I wonder if Romini has owned the SS....

I've owned the CS and were disgusted with them...way too soft on the stiffest setting....waist of money in my opinion..
People say they have a "Like Stock" feel, thats a understatement.

Henry. I think his writeup was on the HA even though I think the SS replaced the HA. I just wonder if the SS is acceptable on the softest setting, I don't want to have to be avoiding every bump and hole if I get them. But as stated before, they're not too expensive. I wish the Flex were about the same price as the SS. I'll see what other people's impression of them is then I'll decide.

I think they did discontinued the HA, they still sell the RA but that's a whole 'nother setup.

Can you give us more of a review? Like what they are like on the freeway with the expansion joints and some of the bad roads in CA? Stiff, bumpy, smooth - thanks!

I had tein ss and know i have the tein cs v2 the tein ss i like them but they were to low, and a harder ride, but they handle really and i mean really good.
the tein cs's dont handle as good as the ss's but its a softer ride which is more my taste and i have the flexibility to raise as high, and lower as far as i want.
