Default Who's your supplier for SS?

Anyone know what the SS-P does? why is it so much more expensive. What does the pillow ball mount do for you? if it lowers noise or raises everyday driving comfort, ill spend the extra couple hundred bucks to get them. Let me know
The best price I had was 870 +50 ship for SS, 1131+ for SS-P.

The pillowball mount just gets rid of some of the slop in the rubber top mount. Basically gives you a better (more direct) feel of the road. Probably (my theory) NOT going do be smoother or quieter than SS. Also, if you ever want to add EDFC (dash control of damper stiffness), it only works on SS-P for Gen7 Accord (03+)

Who's your contact? I want that price!

I will ask him if he has anymore in stock, but definitely will give you his email when he emails me back. I found him off the internet....his shop is 30 mins from his TEIN authorized dealer so can get lower costs (no shipping for him)

i was wondering if there was a way to adjust the suspension inside the car...I dont think I'll worry about that though. I'm not even sure I'm gonna want these TEIN SS anyways, I'm too affraid that the noise they make is really goign to annoy me. I do have a 2003 accord though.

i've had basics on my accord for over a year now and its fine, i have no squeaking or anything and ride smooth as ever. but then again i didn't lowered it down to the max. its prob not a good idea to lower any coilovers down to the max. maybe you should raise it up a little man.

i dont know what to do, but tein is working with me and I'm nervous to spend even more money on these things if its gonna be annoying and squeek..i wish i could get a sound byte of it on here...ITS WAY ANNOYING.
