Short answer... Basics are only height adjustable. SS are height and damper adjustable.

damper adjustment allows you to soften or stiffen the rebound and dampening force with a click of the tool in top of shock- thats really nice
ss can also have EDFC electronic controller motors added to the adjuster for on the road/track instant adjustment

On the Tanabe systems I have seen they don't have the dial below, at least for the 2nd gen TL/CL. Which setup are you referring to? You can adjust the SS easily in the front. The rear can be done by removing the back seat which takes about 15-20 mins or by drilling a small hole in the rear deck that is hard to notice and slipping a long allen key to change the damping. Or leave the seat out go for a test drive and see where you like it and put the seat back in. You don't need the EDFC. It does cost less than $1500, hundreds less, if you PM me. Tanabe's are also pretty soft. I sell both but IMO TEIN is the better buy.
