They're like $1200 shipped or something. An LSD and SilkRoads is pretty much all you need for a drift car  -MR |

Build quality is excellent and damping control is also quite good.

The height adjustment is practically the entire length of the tube and beyond - the threaded sleve just keeps going and going...

they are very well made, huge piston and are inverted monotube for extra durabality. Everyone thinks u need 9009085938 ways of dampering, but the truth is, most guys will set them once and leave them that way. I beleive these are some of the better coilovers out on the market

They also have there spring rates and valving very well engineered or whatever you want to call it. The coilovers work great as a combo. The dampening is exactly how it is supposed to be, both compression and rebound.

i'm running the models that they made before the new a8's, and i think they're great. no dampening adjustment, but really it's set pretty nice out of the box.. mind you they never released these in the states (to the best of my knowledge), and the place in VA (i think) that is distributing the silk road stuff here in the US just recently shut down.
Edit: damn picture didn't want to work..

Just go to www.dgtrials.com and ask anyone about silkroads - they're well liked.
If you want to try and translate the site there's always Babelfish: http://world.altavista.com/ I hope this helps. -MR |
