Tein SS or SS-P???????
Okay, I allready know the difference between the two, but I was wondering which may be a better choice. I was thinking probably the SS-P, that way I could leave my stock suspension intact ( I have an 01, so I could use my stock upper mounts), in case I needed it later, but I've heard people complaining about a noisy ride with the SS-P's pillow ball mounts, and I don't want a noisy ride 
Anyone have any thoughts or opinions, or does anyone actually have the SS-P's? I think there are only like 3 people on this site that have them, which isn't that many compared to the regular SS. Can anyone help me out?

SS-ps will be easier to swap out, they also will allow camber adjustment I believe. If you want to pay the extra for not having to disassemble your stockers then go for it. Pillowballs don't make that much noise.

Rep Power: 0 So Rob, I won't feel much difference or noise with the Tein pillowball mounts?
I thought it was you or Grey maybe that was saying they were noisy?
So other than convenience and camber adjustability that should be the only difference?
I guess no one else has any input on these, I thought there were members who had these...

I do want coilovers just for the ride height ability. So I do need to have them, so what your saying is get the SS instead of the SS-P? I checked there spring rates and there the same, 6 and 8. Do the pillowballs make that much difference?

Rep Power: 380 As stated, Lininer springs (whats found on most "coilovers") will ride harsher then progressive rated springs. other then that, Just like Boilermaker states, Pillow ball upper mounts will transfer more force to the chassis through the suspension = slightly harsher ride. The stock rubber upper mounts isolate the suspension, softing the ride.
