Spring rates are the same, adjustability is the same, the spring rate adjustablility are different.
The SS goes from 2 to 112 and the basic goes from 1 to 56 lbs/in.

Since the ss cost more they are probably better. And just remember man you get what you pay for

With the TEIN SS you can adjust the damping force = daily driver/occasional track use

Tein Basic you can't = daily driver

The lowering for both is F= -1.1 to -2.7 in.
R= -1.2 to -3.8 in.
