im trying to choose between the two. im not planning to take it to the track or anything, just a daily driver in houston, so you know the roads.

right now im leaning towards the basics but i need pictures to decide

thanks in advance

 

they both will look pretty much the same. They are both ajustable in height but the SS have an adjustavke damper. Looks will be the same but performance wise the SS will win. If you are looking to do some serious racing or tracking the car pick the tein SS.

 

they both lower the same amount. it's just that one is damper adjustable and the other is not. here's a pic of my car. i can go about .5" lower in front and .25" in the rear.

 

looks nice. so im guessing i should go for the basics, since im not planning to go to the track or anything

 

They both look exactly the same, have the same spring rates, and height adjustments are also exactly the same. Go with the basics. Ever consider a spring/shocks combo?

 

not really, but i do have some tein s-techs that arent installed. what shocks would recommend?

 

here's some pics of the Tein SS-P's.

 

only shocks that i am aware of are TRD and KONI yellows. TRD is just slightly stiffer than oem shocks, KONIs are adjustable. I did a quick search and found some here: http://store.yahoo.com/ltbmotorsport/scion.html

since you already have the tein s-tech and dont care much for tracking your car, i think you should stick with the springs. pick up a pair of koni shocks, they make really good shocks. you still end up saving some cash.

 

that looks real nice smash.

and yea i'll do a research and read the reviews on the konis i know they make some good shocks cause i use to have them on my prelude.

thanks for the info. meanwhile. any other pictures with tein suspension?

 

nice axis hiros

 

they're about the same expect for the adjustable dampering as daewonder said. I have basics and I love them. i only do daily driving and a few times at the track and i'm satisfied with the basics

 

thanks for your opinion

 

Hey Smash, nice tien SS-p setup, how much was it total?

thanks,

 

The Tein SS-P's set me back about $1200 plus install.

 

Do you have th edfc? I am guessing your either saving up for it or have it since u got the P with the tiens SS, and was it worth it?

Can you actually tell the dampening difference?

thanks smash and sorry if i am hijacking your thread man~

 

i 2nd that question. you're not hi-jacking my thread

 

thats what i have on my basics right now how smash sits.

the differnce is frikkin beaitufl

 

no i don't have the EDFC, i don't really have much need for it. i've been debating saving up for it because it's really cool. also, the dampening unfortunately is somewhat difficult to change manually if you don't have the EDFC installed-- which is a good reason to consider buying it!

 

what about ride quality? i am debating the same, i want a decent stock feel. I was going to go with the ss just so i can use the edfc. Hows the ride on the basics??

 

Sorry to take this a little off topic, but Smash, where did you go to get them installed? I'm trying to find a decent shop, preferably one with experience installing the EDFC :p.
