Think I might look into the flex product instead if thats the case
Thanks to everyone that responded.
The Super Street doesn't come with pillow balls (although I think it's an option in the US). There are optional top mounts for the JDM SS's but they're rubber rather than a pillow ball.

Yeah, the pillowball option is spoken of very favourably in the big forum, generally gives 5mm more travel and feels tighter (don't know why?).
I thought if I was going to spend that much I'd rather spend a bit extra and try and get the flex. Had 2 qoutes so far for freight from the US of $400 !!!! I'll keep trying though. Shame fulcrum don't do them

The Tein mounts (even the JDM rubber optional ones) allow the spring to sit a bit higher, so the car is naturally a little lower, with more shock travel.
Also I second Justin's recommendation...surely it would be cheaper buying thru a JDM parts importer than to get it from the USA, since it'll have to cross the pacific twice

Sorry to necro this thread. But I'm just wondering if the website listed by the chap in here is still one of the cheapest places to buy Tein SS?

Keep in mind though, the spring rates look to be Jap spec.
