The SS is their lowest range, i don't think you get dampening control with them (correct me if i'm wrong). The Type-flex is more of a replacement of the HA's, and allows for the EDFC (electronic dampaning control).

I have the Type-Flex w/ pillow ball upper mount and the EDFC. Not having to remove the trim to adjust the rear dampening is a bit plus, that's if you have a gf that complains about bumpiness or if you do a lot of track work on your car and want to be able to adjust at a fingers tip.

Super Street's have 16 levels of damper control.

Your entry level Tein's are simply a shock and spring combo.

maximum of 3inch drop..

good question..........ive been wondering the same!

Do these TEINS give ride height adjustment as well as spring / damper rate adjustment?

Also - how does the ride compare to the stock suspension setup? I dont want to lose any comfort - but i would like to gain some comfort!
