in practical terms it means that the basic will work fine at median settings but as you push the limits, it will either be too hard or too bouncy potentially.

i wouldn't get the basic unless you have driven a car with them on and know them to feel right

will the SS provide as smooth as a ride as my current stock suspension?

is the ~$400 diff. really worth it?

the basic's will be very firm..Because they are not adjustable , they make them more firm to make up for the fact that you can not adjust them yourself and they also need to be rebuilt more often , because they are set to the firmmest setting..Just spend the extra money for the adjustable , you will thank yourself in the long run..

Nope, the BASICS are just coilovers and non adjustables. I have the SS and I love them. I still have to get my EDFC installed or just sell it, it's on the softest setting right now and it's still stiffer then stock. I want it a little stiffer, seems a little bouncy on highways.

Basics are height adjustable but not dampening (ie. hardness) adjustable. Right?
