Silkroad is an excellent street coilover but I believe they are the ones that cannot be serviced in the US

Silkroad, Stance are excellent set-ups, but if your surious about your suspension look into some Zeals.

Silkroad arguably makes superior products next to the other two companies you listed, but is let down a bit by the fact that they can't be serviced in the US.

I ran 14kg/mm megan racing coilovers in one of my GTR's and they were amazing.

Their guages suck *** but the coilovers suprised me.
I know i will be buying another set sooner or later.

Ugh. Megan's are "stiff" so they feel ok when compared to a stock suspension, especially in a performance vein. BUT, compared to other coilovers, i feel they are vastly inferior.

i have silk/section. they are alright. i'm not thrilled with them.

super basic comparison
http://www.ziptied.com/?p=24

the silk/sect are ok. mine are 8/7 rate. at 5 clicks and under it feels like there's oscillation after hitting bumps in the road. at 6 clicks that stops except for large bumps, but at that point the ride is uncomfortable... at least for jersey roads. they are quality though. my car was driven straight over a curb in a parking lot at 10mph. i thought that would've blown them out for sure, but months later they are still fine. btw don't ask... was teaching someone how to drive in my car. (never again)

imo stance's servicibility and universally good reviews put them over silk right now. if i had to buy another set right now, i'd try stance.

I would say the Silks might ride better than the stance but bang for BUCK quality.

STANCE ftw. but Silks are great coils. Megan's eckkk.

I have silkroads on my fd. 10/8kg setup on the older coilovers they have (shocks not adjustable). The spring compression and ride height are adjustable. Once properly setup imho are one of the best. I do road course and touge and cant complain, and also on the street they are very comfortable. I would almost say comparable to zeals, but thats my opinion.

silk road is a better company but you are better off with the stance
