saw this coilover for sale, it didn't have any markings on it. i noticed the shaft is really huge, it measured at 40mm, so i'm assuming it's an inverted shock. any of you guys know what brand this is?

old skool tein???



i have no idea

 

coloring looks mugen ish.......


any specs?

dampening/rebound adj?

 

If i had to guess, i would say an old Silk Road damper - maybe.

 

Could be a KYB coilover. ask for more pics.

 

looks old. rears blown?
buy it! yeah id put my money on old silks or mugens.

 

kinda looks like Tein

 

did tein have the double adjustment that long ago?

 

added more pics. the shocks aren't blown, the rubber boots just got shredded. i agree with kengs, i'm thinking these are silk roads, though i don't remember them having such huge shafts. these aren't adjustable, as far as i can tell

 

40mm shaft, height and rate adjustment, and no dampening adjustability? not tein, silkroad or have we ruled out mugen yet? they probably wouldnt do adjustable damper because what they pick IS PERFECT(mugen tech.)
lol

 

Those are definitely not Mugen. And I've seen just about every model Tein has made, including chit they made for small "garages" and never seen one that looks like those.

 

damn you black ops!
true Jdm knowledge indeed...
i just thought so because the struts themselves i have seen mugens that color with no stickers... silkroads too though, id agree with silks or something really estranged... like quijgiboh garage.

 

Look like they have a lot of miles on them. While structurally they may be ok, I'd question the condition of the shocks and how much life they have left in them.

Good luck getting them revalved.

 

Nishiki/Bilsteins???

U mean Ennepetal/Bilsteins? I don't think those are Bilsteins.

I was thinking maybe el Sport but that green lower adjusment collar throws me off.
