Thumbs up Silk Road RM/A8 Coilovers, SPL upper arms and more

I installed the Silk Road RM/A8 coilovers, SPL front upper camber arms, Hotchkis sways, SPC rear lower camber arms and toe bolts, ... all about a week or so ago.

Rides great...

these DEMOLISH Teins folks. if you choose the Tein route, and opt for Flex's. choose the Monotube version. not the twin tube.

k that is all

+1 for Silks!

looks like you have the updated ones with the line brackets. I had to use tie straps. the rear springs are different from mines. your's have a progressive wound to them. mines have the same amount of gap between coils for linear rates. I think progressive in the rear is the way to go, the back end can get really harsh at times.

about 1000++ miles with them now, no found issues, still lovin' them alot! A few people have riden with me and didn't even know I had the car dropped! LOL

I am thinking of going with a true-type coilover, ... I'm thinking i can order the springs and perches to use with these. It is a pain in the a$$ to adjust height on these cars in the rear!!!

yah, you can do so by ordering from Japan. I thought about it as well, but with no track now (Oahu, Hawaii)...I dont see the need to make outstanding adjustments. ******* sucks!
