I'm assuming you meant Basics vs. SSP. Did you check their website? It's all there. The biggest differences are dampening adjustment, pillowball mounts, and camber adjustment. All of which the Basics do not have.

There are differences. First off, the spring rates....

6K/10K Street Basis
7K/10K Basics

Both reuse the stock upper mounts.

Both only have ride height adjustment.

Street Basis allow for a slightly lower drop than the Basics.
Max drop for Street Basis is -3.4FR/-3.5RR
Max drop for Basics is -2.8FR/RR

Both use a twin tube design.

You can overhaul the Street Basis, but I don't think you can with the Basics.

We carry both and let me know if you there is anything else....

Basis replaced the Basic line. Both are twin tube and can be overhauled at both TEIN locations in the US. Basis was upgraded with internal parts and has additional coatings that help prevent rust.
