Difference between Tein SS & SS-P?

Hi everyone,

Had a question regarding the two SS models listed for our cars on tein.com.

http://www.tein.com/acura.html

What's the difference between the SS & SS-P? Why is the SS-P three hundred bucks more?

Thanks guys.

p indicates pillow mounts, those metal plates that top off the assemblies. should make installation a lot simpler if they are pre-assembled.

The SS-P is also needed if you want to add the EDFC unit

I don't think that's right, they offer a EDFC for the ss and the ss-p.the ss-p comes with upper mounts and the ss does not.

Yup the only difference is that they come with the pillow mounts, which can be added to the SS's at a later date. The EDFC just controls the dampening screws that are on both the SS's and the SS-P's with four servos mounted on top of each strut.

On the TL you don't need the SS-P to run the EDFC, only on the CL due to hood clearence issues.

You CANNOT add those tein pillow mounts later. They won't sell them seperately, people have asked.

I thought you need the pillow mounts to run the edfc? How do you control the height and dampening without the pillow mounts remotely?

OK so I was partially right. I remember reading that somewhere.

Noisy? Describe the noisy. There isn't any other significant performance or convenience advantage with the SS-P's??

I already know about the EDFC
