any truth to this? I have Tein Basics already but i'm thinking about going to Tein SS. Let me know people thanks

We just sold a set of Basics for the 05 civic and the installer didn't say anything about needing to find the mounts. Therefore, I assume they do come with them PM me if you need me to do more research.

I just installed the super streets and they are awsome. I was told they didn't have the upper pillow mounts for my year and i didn't need them anyways. I got the new batch that came with the upper bearing.

so you used your old rear hats plus your front mounts? or did the set come with it? you said you got 1100 installed (good price btw), sounds like it might of not came with it and that your using your stock parts which might have problems later on.

if you go on dezod's site, there are two Tein SS kits listed one is a little more expensive than the other, and i think its the SS with the pillow mounts.

http://www.dezod.com/cat_coilovers2.cfm

im getting the SS within the next few months, and i was wondering how the mounts compare to stock, whats the advantage to the ones that come with the SS-P?

YES!! it was awsome!!! for like the first 3 months... now it's crapping out on me the rear left is making some kind of weird clicking noise... like as if something has broken in pieces. the ride is getting so annoying now, i gatta go down to the garage have them chk it out what's wong with it. anyways after your installation does your tires squeek alot at turns?? mine squeek around 30klits... (need to have that chked too)
other than that the experience was great!! i love the stiffness and the responsiveness of this kit!!


p.s. i have the one with out the pillow mount (what is a pillow mount?)

i called Tein and they said that the Tein mounts are for the Tein SS-P versions (comes with it) only and will not fit anything that is less then that like Basics or regular Tein SS. This whomps i wanted them bad too. They woulda made more money if they made just a 01+ Civic mount. Also they are not planning to make one either, only the hood dampers and Tein front strut bar is "in development" right now.

Indeed, i think the Tein SS-P (Tein Super Street-Pillowball Mount), it's a universal fit with an adapter maybe. It saids 04+ included so i'm guessing Tein knows what they're doing.
