Got My SilkRoad's

I just installed my Silk Road RM/A8's today. I love them, they handle so well. I'll post pictures soon, maybe tomorrow. This week was very very good. I finished my exhaust, modified my intake, and made my headlights "sleepy". On the lower setting of the dampers, they feel good for daily driving. Once i turn them up, they are ready for the track.

Sounds good man, let me know how they drive, and how you like them, I was looking into Silk Roads, because I've heard some good stuff about them

i've never heard anything bad about them. This is my first day driving on them, but i love them. Beefy, durable, and very pretty. They ride great as well. Minimized body roll, i bet if i turned up the dampening they would eliminate body roll.

Spring rates are F:8 R:7or(6) but you can have custom springs made by silkroad for $100 a spring.

LandHo, i'll let you drive her. maybe i'll head out this tuesday to the meet. i'll let you know, but no matter what your opinion is on how well they perform, i still think they are awesome. I couldn't be happier. Oh did i mention i get a Section sticker....

P.S. rates are 8/6 for me

it has a nice oversteer when i'm taking bigger, wider turns. The smaller turns are more difficult to tell because i don't know if its the suspension or my tires being crappy ones. I'd have to get new tires before i can let you know.
