tein coilovers basic / SS
im realy considering getting a set of tein basic or SS coilovers
the basics are about $800 and the SS are about $1100.
the SS have ajustable damper.
my qustion is about the Pillowball Upper Mount, what does it do and is it worth it.
ill most likly be gotting the SS because i realy want the damper ajustment.
the Pillowball Upper Mount are en extra $130, i just don't know anything about them.
right now ive got tein s-tech on monro echo shocks/struts, i like the stance and the smooth ride but if i hit a realy hard bump i think i can almost feal the struts bottom out, its not cool at all.
i don't mind spending the $ green $ i just want to make sure im doing the right thing.

yup that's how it is... i would say save a little more and get the SS setup... if you do want to go lower don't get the SS-P, although i love the handling with the SS-P's but just wish i could go a little more lower then i would be happy. let us know which one you decide on.

ok so you can go lower with the ss than the ss-p.
right now ive got Tein s-tech with echo struts.
1.7 + .5 front and 1.5 rear.
i dont't realy want to go lower then that if i can help it. i want the camber ajust in the front, the dampner ajustments and the larger shocks & stuts.

i knew most of that
im sure im getting the ss-p
what Ekolu2004 said just threw me off a little. i wasnt shure what he ment by "if you do want to go lower don't get the SS-P"
i realy like the stance i have now, i just want to able to adjust everything and have a solid set up that leves me room for more options down the road like the ajustable camber, dampener, and highth.
anyway, i just wanted to threw it out to the peeps to see what advice you had.

OOOOO,Ok. Yeah you can go lower with any one of those set-ups. Check out the pic again. See how there are two ring screws to adjust the spring. Well, a lot of people take off that bottom ring and just run one screw ring to make the car go lower. I think the SS-P can go lower without that one too.

I know this is an old post but i have a question about the tein ss coilovers.
I just picked up a set of teh tein ss but they did nto come with the pillowball upper monts. So where can I find the pillowball mount? Do I have to order them form Tein directly or can I get them elsewhere?

i got my ss-p's for 750 picked up, one time deal btw lol. i love these things, their a little stiff, but the handle so well. (1=softest-16=hardest) i run mine around 11 or so in the front i think and about 6-7 in the rear, unless im driving people, then about 10 in the rear. they make your suspension so stiff its awesome, i have 195/60r15 tires and most of the movement in my car when stopping or turning is the sidewall lol, when i stop ill kinda jiggleish on my sidewall if you understand what i mean. get the ssp

Those are technically pillowball mounts, but not the ones that come with the SS-P coilovers.
Matter of fact, they don't even list a mount for the xB/bB on that page. Just an FYI.
