Silk Road RM/A8 Coilovers S13, w Camber Plates, SoCal, $875
Selling my Silk Road RM/A8 coilovers. They were on my S13 for 4 months, during which time it was a second car and lightly used. Mechanical condition is 10/10 with no leaks or problems whatsoever. They were regularly taken off the car for cleaning. Visually they are a 8.5/10 with a few scratches near the mounting eyelets from taking them off and on.
The RM/A8's are more or less ideal... they have separate spring pre-load and height adjustments, so ride height can be adjusted without affecting spring pre-load. They are also threaded for their entire length. The shock body is more or less a really beefy threaded rod, so there literally could not possibly be any more adjustability than these offer.
Dampening is 8 way adjustable, and the spring rate is 8kg/mm front 6kg/mm rear. However for $60ea you can get ANY spring rate you want from Hypercoil or Eibach or Silk Road and swap them right off (no spring compressor needed, they're coilovers).
These have pillow-ball upper mounts as well as adjustable camber plates. Adjusting wrench and damper adjustment **** included. included
The RM/A8 coilover setup is perfect fora drift car that will also see some daily use. The springs are swappable for drift or daily driving. The dampening is matched very well to the spring rates, providing good handling as well as streetability.
All their parts are made in Japan and the quality really is outstanding. I have them packed up in boxes, with protective covers on the shock tower bolts so shipping isnt a problem.
From the Silk Road site:
*8-way adjustable
*Pillow-Ball upper mounts
*Spring rates:
S13 - 8.0/6.0kg
RS13/RPS13 - 8.0/7.0kg
*Adj. front Pillow Ball
*Rigid aluminium rear mount
*Inverted monotube dampers

$875 picked up in Los Angeles, or buyer pays shipping.
Willing to meet halfway within reason... 25mi maybe. No lowballs.

I'm selling because I went back to stock for a cross country move. Can't bring the silk road's with me and don't want to run them in NYC where I'm going. Email me if you're serious, I'd love to sell them this weekend.
