What is the model # of the Tein coilover system for a 2001 GSR? Everyone on here talks about how great it is, does anyone know what model # it is? Thanks.

DSH96-KUSS2 This is for the SS model.
DSH96-LUSS2 This is for the basic model.

It didn't specify that it's for the GSR. It just said non Type-R models.

Where'd you hear that??

The SS and the HA are the same thing. The HA is just made for the ITR. You can get the HA for a non-ITR, but you would have to get ITR rear LCAs for them to hook up right. Better off going with SS.

The SS model has adjustable dampening. The basic is just a regular adjustable coilover on a shock. No dampening adjustment.

I think that the other difference is spring rate. The SS has a softer spring rate (if that's what you'd call it) compared to the HA. So unless you could get a different spring rate for the SS, it's basically the same thing...

The spring rates for the SS and the HA are the same.

front: 448 lb/in
rear: 336 lb/in
