wow stfu newb.

I hope you have Kei Office coilovers since your all about them.

As far as quality and material your gonna have to call the manufacturing department.


Silkroad, Kei Office, Tein, JIC, Tanabe they are all GREAT coilovers.

Its just on your preference on what you want.

DO more research to find the best that suits you.

I dont know much about the silkroads but the kei office gx's are 8 way adjustible, they have fully adjustible camber plates, rear and front have adjustible dampining and ride height. By the way were are you getting them from? I would buy them from Driftfactory.com. Since they are a lisenced dealer they are cheaper.

Nearly EVERY coilover has those specs....so what makes THEM so special? And you better have those on your ride, otherwise dont say sheet...

true that! thats why i was just wondering if there was really anything that sets these 2 sets apart really... i read Drift Factory's Kei Office FAQ, but how much does all that stuff matter? to be honest im leaning toward Silk Roads because they're cheaper, wondering if there is any reason that i should go w/ Kei Office... im also worried about the longevity of whatever i buy and if my product were to go bad, will it be a pain to have them repaired (if even possible?)

cheapest ive found for Silk Roads are from www.jdmfresh.com so id probably go through them. however, if i were to choose Kei Office id go with www.driftfactory.com

I had kei office gu coil-overs and I think that the tein super dirfts are beter, and a beter buy. Silk roads are top notch too with there inverted mono-tube struts.

As Fast1One has said, most decent coilovers are the same. As for myself, I chose TEIN Flex for my S14 because of the EDFC but I've heard good things about Megan. Gl with your search.
