anyone have feedback of silk road coilover
my friend roll this on his skyline R32,and love the feeling,but want to know on integra
I saw on autoRnD the coilover for 1350$ 10/8k



I was thiking to buy zeal b6 or s6 but the silk road are cheaper...and not a lot of persone rock them

 

never heard of them

they must be smooth as silk

 

silk road makes really nice stuff. those spring rates will be pretty hard to handle on the street tho.

 

contact vtecjun here on h-t. he is an authorized dealer.

 

my brother had them in his 240. a nice qualitly piece. stiff as f*@k.

10k/8k is really soft, and I would not hesistate to put those kinds of spring rates in a car meant to carry my grandma around.

Who makes the coilovers for Silk Road and what makes you say their stuff is really good? Sorry, I'm not trying to be combative, I just had assumed "Silk Road" was of poor quality like JIC.

I'm with Reid; 8 and 10 isn't that bad at all.

 

silk roads are pretty nice my friend has them on his s14 the front shocks are inverted. rides very nice

 

zeal b2 also rides really nice on the street.i know zeal B2 wasnt listed but just wanted to point it out since its cheaper than the other model coilovers listed.i have the b2's on my dc2 and it rides good DUMPED!

 

a shop around my town, intec racing, has some. contact 92typeR for more info. he works at intec and they are authorized dealers also. i personally like the silkRoad coilovers they arent hard as hell nor soft. they handle great on 240's but i dont know about the ITRs. be our GUINEA PIG!!

No offense, but these are the type of responses that I expect to see in the Appearance/Cosmetic forum, not here.


So far no one who has experience with them has posted any useful feedback about them. From what I gather this is a suspension for people who drive their cars on the street and want it "slammed".

Silk-Road is the manufacturing company for J's Racing, many Tanabe products, Cusco...there are a few more.

The coilovers pictured above are the first generation of coilovers (Spec RMA8), and we have used these on many cars, including our S13 D1 drift car, and a few employees have used these on their Civics/Integras. In terms of ride, they are very stiff when adjusted full stiff, and are very compliant when on soft. The coilovers are monotube, 8-way adjustable, include upper pillowball mounts, and are very durable/strong. They are not the lightest system, but hold up very well. They are more popular in the Nissan world, and are now making a name for themselves and sneaking into the Honda scene.

The newest SilkRoad coilovers, which havn't been officially released yet, feature external reservoir, monotube design, and are oriented more for race/track use rather than street.
