    Hey guys,
    So I've had my 300 for a few months and have been getting the hang of this forum, have had a few small things like seals gone wrong and general Q&A about 300's in general but now for something real.

    As I'm going to have the car in the garage for a bit getting my hydraulic lifters sorted I might as well throw in a few goodies seeing as I'm gonna be working on it.

    Few weeks ago a mate of mine got a set of silkroad rma8's for his R32 and the ride on them is amazing, sadly enough they don't make them for Z32's so I was wondering what make/models of coilovers best suit a Z32.

    I'm not one to cheap out on stuff so price isn't that much of a issues (within reason of course), what coils do you guys rate/recommend?

    No real personal experience with that, but concept z performance is a good site to browse some quality items. There's a set of racing coilovers on there I've wanted for a while.

    If your after the silkroads just get a set for an r32 gtr, front pillowball mounts might need a slight trim on the inside edge but its easy to do. I'm running hks hipermax 2's for a gtr, took 30min to trim both sides. Only bnr32 ones will fit though, gtst uses different lower mounts on rears & r33/34 the rears are too tall.

    No experience with the silkroads personally but have heard good things.

    depending on your budget, martin/mmarschall, has an almost new set of Cusco's for sale, priced at just under your mentioned Silkroads

    If you haven't got a valid reason why they are not solid coilovers, then best keep your attitude to yourself.

    So as not to derail the thread, I'll just leave this here and the kid can decide for himself.
