Default Silvers coilovers???

Anyone know about these? They are inexpensive compared to KW Variants.
https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale...997-c2-4s.html

I don't know much about shocks/coilovers, but I know you usually get what you pay for relative to quality and performance . I bought a set of H&R Greens, with intentions of installing over Bilstein Sports, based on recommendations found on this forum. However, at this price I could sell my H&R's and buy these at about the same net cost.

'89 C4, almost stock. I use the car as a daily driver (20 mile e.w. commute) and for VERY infrequent auto-x's. I may be a little more toward the comfort end of the spectrum than the performance end, but still very close to the middle.

Anyone with personal experience with these, or technical experts who could evaluate them?

Can't really comment on the shocks other than to say there is some ok chinese stuff coming out for other cars at this sort of price (slightly more maybe)

More important for you given that you have an 89 car is to see if they do an early rear shock fitment.

I know for example the kwv1 is only available for the later style rear shock.

They are certainly well priced, at somewhat less than half that of KW V3 !
