Nice coilovers,
Just wondering where you got these from and what spring rates they are? Are they just coilover front with spring shock combination for the rear? |

He got them from Micro Image. They are 7k front, 5k rear -- stiff but surprisingly comfortable.
yes, coilover front, spring+shock rear. These have adjustable shock height so you can match your rear shocks to the overall height you set. They also come with adjustable tie rod ends.

Here's two crappy pictures of them installed:
I'll take some halfway decent pictures tomorrow. So far I love them. Rear really isn't as low as it looks, it's not lowered at all IMO, but the dude that installed them for me said he couldn't go any lower or else the springs wouldn't be locked in the perches? Anyways, thanks Garm! |

Looks perfect! Not too low, there's some useful suspension travel left. Too low = ricey

The front is slammed. You got the hot rod look going on.

You should be able to adjust the rear shock length on the silkroad shorter so that you can go lower in the rear. Springs will fall out of the perches when you get the rear wheels off the ground if you lower the spring collars too low because it doesn't "lock" into place. So if you go lower in the rear, shorten the shock length as well to reduce downward travel of the rear torsion beam. |
