What would you guys recommend more for a 89-94 240sx? Kei office type xr coilovers or silk road coilovers?

-kei office - $1800
-silk road - $1499

hmm ive had the same question on my mind (but for an s14) after i read all the suspension threads on this forum.

information i got:

- kei office is very popular and well known for its quality and performance. plus the drift king himself helped in the design of this suspension. BUT, its more expensive.

- silkroads arnt as popular. but almost everything you hear about them is good. and many say the quality is up there with kei office. PLUS, its less expensive.

what i came up with:

if you have the extra money go for the kei office's. if you wanna save money go for the silkroads. from what i hear, kei offices and silkroads are some of the best coilovers out there. so i guess it all depends on budget.

if anyone disagrees LET ME KNOW. because if silkroads are sh!t on a s14 (or s13) then ill save up a little more for the type xr's

i'm running the silk roads, i have friends running the kei office.. both of them are made in the same factory (if i remember correctly), and they use the same quality materials, and the same quality construction.. the real question you need to ask yourself is,"Do i really have enougn experience in suspension tuning to actually know the difference and how to properly set up the suspension i spend a grand and a half for".. becuase you can spend thousands on suspension, but if all you're going to do is bolt it in, and lower your car, you're wasting your money. find the coils that best suit YOUR needs.

If you get either, let me know how they do. I was thinking about a set of xr's for my 240 once i've actually bought it and can drive the ballls off of it.
