I'm running Silvers Neomax-R coilovers. They are a much cheaper option than some of the big name set-ups but the quality and performance is very impressive so far. I usually run KW V3 on my cars and the Silvers hold their own for a fraction of the price.

Hi Dekker,
I've only had them on for about 500 road miles so far but hope to get a few track days in this year.
Build quality is very good. There is nothing that looks like it'll give any issues. Adjusters move with a positive click although not quite as high quality feel as KWs (maybe 10% less).
On the road they obviously feel very firm compared to the standard suspension I removed but not too harsh and don't seem to crash over bumps like some aftermarket suspension can. Again, I'd say about 10-15% away from the KWs in my AMG and 350Z.
I have started with a modest drop in ride height but I'm confident that these are up to the job of going a little lower now.
If money were no object or I absolutely needed every last 0.01 second out of a lap I'd probably go with the KW v3 (well, I'd actually look at Ohlins or somewhere like that making me a custom set up) but for the road/trackdays (or even just trackdays) I would be happy save a chunk of money and go for the Silvers. Many of the W9O members use Silvers and all give good feedback. I certainly have no buyers remorse and have put the money I saved to good use (various carbon bits for the engine bay and dinner out for the wife to make up for all the money spent on the Porsche)
I'll drop back with updates as I get some more miles on them.

I've had an interesting morning following the trail of the Silvers, reading through many pages on Rennlist and then a search to find a dealer and price. Just had a 90min conversation with Norman Shum who has them fitted on his Maritime Blue 964.
So I would be interested in feedback.
Normally suspension needs a couple of thousand miles to get them bedded in properly and soften a little, at least that's my experience.

Yes, Norm is the UK supplier. Very helpful and can answer any questions. In my dealings with him he seems very honest and knowledgeable.
