Need info on these Silk Road Coilovers

Had these picked up for me (really good price), but don't know much info about them. Anyone know what model they are? They are for an FD, spring rate: 10k front, 8k rear. Has S63-100-200 annotated on the front springs and S63-080-200 on the rear springs.

Am I wrong, or don't these have adjustable spring perches and adjustable lower collars so that ride height can be changed without affecting the length of the damper stroke?

Color is dark blue/black.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, those are independent spring perches. What more do you need to know? Silk Roads look to be a good product, but they don't have US support yet.

Here's their website: http://www.silkroad-usa.com/pages/rm8.htm

Actually, your's may be a slightly older model, just judging by appearance.

Rynberg,

Thanks for the info. Yes, you are correct in that they are older. I bought them from a place that specializes in used parts. They were brand new (never installed), but discontinued, thus the reduced cost. IMO a very good deal.

thanks again...
