Summary:
I just got the Tein SS for my solara, all I can say is WOW. I have gown through two other supension set up, first Eibach pro kit 1.6'' drop with KYB GS-2's they were firm for about 6 months then just were so soft. Then replace the KYB with Tokico Blues. Again good for 6 months then just crap. Save your money, do it right. I have a much lower drop now and it drives 10 times better, no bounce, firm awesome.

Strengths:
Adjustable, ride hight, spring rate and damping. Great feel, awesome quality

Weaknesses:
none

Summary:
Tein SS is definitely worth the money. After losing money on 2 previous spring/shock setups, decided to bite the bullet work some overtime and buy the TEIN SS. Only one regret, should have saved my money and bought these first

Strengths:
Easy to install, top notch quality, excellent customer service, and the option to buy the EDFC!!!!

Weaknesses:
If you go beyond the factory recommended height the ride gets very soft. So if your gonna drop it to the ground for a show, bring it back up before you go home. Price, why is the same suspension $800 for a civic and $1300 for an RSX

Summary:
For the price some people pay for a Koni/Ground Control setup you can go with a Tein SS suspension. In other words this suspension kicks ass. Not only was it afforable but it was just as easy to install. My car now handles better than ever. The hell with straightaways, the more twists and turns the better.

Strengths:
height adjustable/ 16 way ride adjustable = gran turismo handling

Weaknesses:
none

 Tein HA w/ 10kg springs

Summary:
I have enjoyed the ride and performance of this product, but have been disappointed in the fact that the adjustable collars became fused to the body of the strut after only 3 months. During a mild autocross yesterday, the front support ring came apart in small pieces and caused the car to drop to the ground.....very unsafe and dangerous! This problem has been corrected on the new Flex models with a Teflon coating on the strut. If you have HA's, make sure you check the adjusting rings periodically!!! I now have struts that are not usable until I can get replacement collars....that should be fun, eh?

Strengths:
Handling, decrease in body roll and increased high speed stability.

Weaknesses:
Not made for our weather conditions!!!
