Seems like Super Street comes with a provided upper mount with mild camber adjustability (not sure if applicable to our cars... you'l need to confirm), whereas Street Advance uses the OEM top hats and you don't get the camber adjustability.

Street Advance:
TEIN.com: STREET ADVANCEs - PRODUCTS

Super Street:
TEIN.com: SUPER STREET with pillowball upper mont - PRODUCTS

Street Advance might be a slightly lower cost successor of the Super Street. "The Street Advance damper is the evolution of our popular Super Street coilover."

The NEW Tein Street Basis & Street Advance: What’s the hubbub about?




xtcnrice, you are a little off...
Yes there used to be a version of the SS called the SS-P which came with upper mounts, but only on certain applications. And in double-wishbone cars there was no camber adjustment (such as TSXs of all kinds). There is no "SA-P" kit, as you notice. The SA does not come with upper mounts.

Heeltoe,


Are your Tein prices same as other vendors offering on this site? I will look through your link, thank you.


I have been on your site a few times, but it isn't very user friendly.

I dunno if they are or not. We buy direct from Tein, and as such we don't like violating our contract with them by listing prices too low. Some of the "other vendors" here are not direct and are not as scrupulous when it comes to honoring Tein's wishes. You are bound to find lower prices here and there. Thankfully you will ALWAYS have a chance to get a great deal and great service from us by using our Custom Price Request form. Make Price Match Requests, build your own combos, or even just ask us for "our best price."

We are looking for ways to improve our site. Would you mind emailing me or calling me to discuss the site more? marcus@heeltoeauto.com or 949-295-1668

Thanks!

Thank you for the time. I am not looking to nickel and dime and looking for 2 dollar cheaper. I rather go to someone local, who is responsive and will stand behind their products, as you are.


Certainly, I will send over an email now.

Street Basis vs Street Advance or Super Street seems pretty clear. SA vs SS on the other hand is probably more of a subtle difference if anything.

Interesting using the word "local."

To me, buying local is VERY important. It supports the "local" community! But if we consider Acurazine a community, even though we are separated but who-know how much distance, local really means "within this forum." Really, shopping with supporting vendors of this forum sort of count as "local" to us. We're invested in your happiness more than outside vendors are.

Im runing windows 8.1 Pro.. I use the email app built into the system and recently I can't send emails from the app (exchange based email only) my really old AOL email that is also linked sends just fine. Weird thing is.. I receive emails on the exchange email, but can't send anything.

I keep getting "theres a problem sending messages from... Check with your provider for more info"

I can't seem to fix it. Restarted computer. Deleted account, re-added, ran a appreset.exe and to no avail. I don't understand what's happening here, but it's really frustrating. Tell me what's wrong with it.

I'm a jew, so i guess the whole med thing is stereotypical for me too. theres a saying, in the jewish culture, a fetus isn't considered viable until it graduates med school. pro-life people don't fret, the fetus is not terminated if it graduates law school. anything beside that is probably considered a still born or has a trisomy 21 chromosome

When I was a kid, I wanted to be two things:


1) Jew
2) White


Sadly, haven't been able to accomplish either.

Well it sounds like your exchange server is having an issue, if your AOL is working and the other one isn't. Is the exchange corporate?
also the built in app is total garbage, idk how you can stand it lmao.

Same here. They driving new C or E class, or older Acuras.


Insight (initially a 2 door hybrid, then a 4 door hybrid) is FWD


Though locally I see an older Sikh (60 years old+) driving a brand new Alpina B7. Talk about Indian pimping it hard

When you say ladue and clayton in stl you are referencing some of the most in the closet racists.

"What school did you go to" is a real slick way of determining if someone's parents were rich or not, and if you should associate with people.

Forget that noise.

I had problems setting the mail app up initially, but after everything was synced it worked pretty well. I think the notifications are put together well and I like the fact I don't have to log in on the internet to see either accounts. It's not too bad when it works...

And it's an exchange account from my school.... might be time to get rid of it if they can't fix this server issue.

God damn. Fuck HTC. Gave me a mini heart attack right now. Let my phone charge overnight and woke up to see what time it was and it wouldn't turn on, just a black screen. Unplugged and held power down, still nothing. Plugged it into another power outlet and tried to power on and no signs of life. Plugged into the computer and it wasn't finding anything, that's when I thought it was toast. Then I just so happened to hold power and volume down and the stupid facking thing decided to boot up...Never again HTC.
