Silver's Coilover the perfect choice for our 11 Gen SI - review

[Shankmeyster]

If you have a chance can you measure how much thread is showing on the rear shocks? I am still trying to dial in my rears and even watching the videos I haven't figured out how much play I need to get preload right.

For this I have to lift the car, but the preload in the rear is in the spring side not in the shock itself, maybe I'm wrong.
I'll try to take a photo without having to lift the car, coincidentally last Friday I upgraded the wheels and was cleaning the threads lol.

 

[Shankmeyster]

Yeah I know. I've just been trying to get it dialed in correctly for the height and the damn thing keeps clanking like the spring is still loose. Just adjusted them again down to get more preload but apparently it's not enough. Well shit it looks like I have the spring upside down again. FUCK! Their main videos show it with the adjuster towards the top.

Feel free to reach out [email protected] I believe the adjuster is at the button I can't remember, check the installation video here LINK

Here is the picture of the rear spring, I can't take a picture of the shock itself without lifting the car.

 

[Shankmeyster]

Yeah I already figured it out. Thanks.

Anyone got the torque specs for the suspension components?

Wondering how the coilovers have been holding up over the past four years. Any corrosion/wear on the threads/shocks themselves?

Any problems with daily driveability at that height? Think it would be worth getting an aftermarket skidplate for places with shitty roads?

They’ve been holding up incredibly well over the last four years! They’re honestly pretty solid.
I live down in Florida, and so far, I haven't run into any issues with corrosion. My secret to keeping them clean is just a little preventative maintenance: once a year, I make sure to clean out the inner fenders and the threads thoroughly, and then I spray them down with a fresh coat of WD-40 to keep moisture and grime from binding things up.
As for daily drivability at this height, it’s been perfectly fine for my day-to-day routine the ride is in the middle between track oriented and smooth. That said, if you live somewhere with genuinely shitty roads, potholed city streets, or unpredictable construction zones, a good aftermarket skid plate is absolutely worth the investment for the peace of mind alone. It only takes one bad dip to ruin your day, so it’s great insurance we don't have that problem here thanks God.

We have people that have ran them for years now with no issues.

We're a dealer if interested in a set.

I ran silvers coilovers on my 11th gen sport through a few NY state winter and the rear and front springs both developed rust within the first winter. I actually really liker the set, but maybe put some grease on the springs. The rest was all just a lot of pitting from road salt and rust.

That's very unfortunate, we don't have salt here and I'm also running the swift springs upgrade, that happened with the original ones?

I ended up putting all the stock parts back on the car and sold my silver's
