Soma your the first to bring up silkroads, any personal experience?

my firend w/ s chassis has them, and the threaded sleeve rusted

No service in NA AFAIK, that's a big turn off for me.

Servicing in NA is a big big deal. Tein and Stance are ones I'd consider for quick and easy servicing.

I remember hearing about Zeals being serviced in NA, but I may be wrong on that one.

Stance GR +

Please search!!! and do some god damn research!!!

Yup - Me too :icon_tup:

Search and reasearch can only do so much, many times you dont get the results you want especially if you have specific questions. I have been a member here for a good 5 years, and i check daily on posts and threads pertaining to issues and mods with our cars. Dont get me wrong im not saying you to shut up, but take into account that sometimes you need to go beyond the research and find answers via directly talking to people.

My point is even talking to people thier ass is going to respond differently than your ass, and your driving style will be different than someone elses. The only real research that can be done on suspensions is behind the wheel. Short of that (& there are only 2 RX7's around where I live, One is mine, the other a buddies) I would suggest the only thing to do would be to find a coilover or build your own that is adjustable. I don't mean turn a useless knob adjustable. I mean revalve the shocks & change the spring rates adjustable.

Aside from that there are no real hard figures that you can ask for when looking for suspensions - only opinions. And you get opinions like this noob drftwerks who's car looks like

trying to talk about how great his car handles when he openly admits that cornerweighting is useless :scratch: Point is be wary of the source. To many people post what they think is fact and you'll get the
"I went from stock blown shocks to my progressive 12/10 on all corners and I can out handle an Elise on bumpy pothole ridden mountain roads!!"

:lol2: PWNED!!

Point taken TitaniumTT, hands on expereience IS the best research you can do. Of course once purchased the setup that i want, that im sure is quality. Dialing in is going to take nearly all summer, based on available hours at the track starting april.

i run stance, and my overall impression is "not BAD for street driving, excellent on smooth roads or tracks, and dont even LOOK at a back alley or gravel road"

they are a bit bumpy for everyday use but i operate heavy equipment so i barely notice, also careful with the preload on the springs.. had mine too tight an was catchin air on lil dips on the highway

nope i said it gets the job done, for what i need, WHERE WAS MY OPINION, i said get custom valved shock for the spring, did i NOT?? most coilover manufactures can do that now, when ordering
