why even mention this, silk roads are in a completely different price range IIRC.

Anyway, i have EXV N1s I think. The previous owner bought them but he told me they were EXVs and they say N1 on the adjusting knob. They are alright, but i haven't driven anything with the megans so i can't make a direct comparison.

I have heard that the megans and the apexis use the same spring but have different tolerances for the valving (how reliable this statement is i don't know). I plan on switching to Swift springs on this coilover and when i do i can report back on how it affects the ride. Supposedly a better spring can make quite a difference.

Also, i will be running 17x9 f and 17x10 rear RPF1s, so when i the 5 lug and brakes done i can test fit the 17x10s on the front and check clearance. I won't have this done for another 2 months though, i dunno what kind of time frame you need a definitive answer by...
