Silvers Coilovers ?
 
Finally looking at buying some coilovers without breaking the bank and these seem to fit the bill, open to suggestion dont want to be spending $1500 or more.
Wondering if anyone is currently running these on the twins? what do you think of them worth the money ?
Thanks

I would suggest saving some more. Why take a chance on parts that directly affects the vehicles handling?

What are your goals?

Why wouldn't they be worth the money. From what I've heard they are good coil overs. The company had been around for a lil while now.

How do you want the car to feel?

You're in Aus. I suggest you look at MCA or Shockworks as they are quality local companies with some well priced options not far from your price point and with good local support if you ever need a rebuild or revalve.

I have MCAs and have been very happy with them.

I have looked at MCA before. It is my second option, i was sorta hoping someone may give me insite with the silvers and what they think of them as they have been around for a long time.
But if no one has really experienced them ill spend the extra $ to get MCA

I do alot of spirited driving and some highway driving.

I didn't realised the Blues have been discontinued. That is a pity. Perhaps keep an eye out for some 2nd hand ones? The local support is something you shouldn't overlook.

The Silvers website says the pistons are linear. My understanding is that is not very desirable. Digressive is what you want for better ride/handling balance.

So I have a set of silvers coilovers just not on my fr-s but on my civic. They have been on there a couple of months now. I honestly have no complaints or regrets about getting them I have them on close to their softest setting and I really can't feel a difference in stiffness compared to the stock suspension. I got the radial bearing upgrade and I never hear any noise from the coilovers and I dont hear / feel them bottoming out on bumps... I have have a fairly poor road getting home so there are a fair amount of bumps lol. However I have never tracked the civic or anything like that so I cannot really comment on that aspect of that, however for daily driving I have no complaints about them on my civic. AS always this is my personal opinion and should probably carry very little weight.
