Tein Coilovers: Basic vs. SS

The main difference I see between the Basics and the Super streets is that the SS's have 16 levels of damping force. For everyday street use, would that be neccesary or over kill?

Are 16 levels of damping force really needed for everyday street use? Sounds like overkill.
