they might be like my Tein HA's which are 8k front and 6k rear. quite firm. (however, mine are made for an ITR so it maybe less for a civic?)

The tein ss you can adjust the damper. The basics you cannot adjust the damper.

Both of these suspensions are fully adjustable in height.

You will be fine with the basics for street driving. The SS are not worth the extra money. If you got money to waste, sure, go for the SS.

I have the SS...they're great

I didn't pay anywhere near what you get them for here though.

from this site http://www.upgrademotoring.com/suspe..._sus_Honda.htm
it says basic and ss has the same spring rates which is 448F/224R, is that right?
is the rates are adjustable?
thanks
