Silver's Suspension Frequently Asked Corvette Questions:
Q: I do a little bit of track work and mostly street, what rates should I go with?
A:Ā We suggest the standard 12k Front, 8k Rear setup for most builds.
Q: I do more track work than an occasional track day, either drag or Auto X, what rates should I go with?
A:Ā We suggest the stiffer in the rear setup here, 12k Front, 10k Rear.
Q: I make big power and run sticky tires / slicks / drag radial but don't go to the track, what rates should I go with?
A:Ā Drag Setup in either standard drag or extreme +1000whp with the valving mod.
Q: Should I upgrade my sway bars at the same time?
A:Ā We suggest you try the coilovers out first before changing out your sways.Ā The reason is the shocks are digresively valved which will make the car feel like there are fatter sway bars underneath you.
Q: What happens if there is a warranty issue, does the coilover get repaired.Ā
A:Ā In most cases, Silver's would just replace the part.Ā It's faster and more cost effective to take care of the customer with a new part vs. going through the ship, inspect, repair process.
Q: What if it's after warranty and I need to replace a shock?
A:Ā You can purchase replacement shock bodies individually.
Q: Why have I never heard of Silver's Suspension before?
A:Ā Silver's has been operating since 1999 and is only in their 1st year (as of 2018) in the United States.Ā For more back-story on Silver's be sure to check out the video's below.Ā Ā
Q: Do I have to drill anything.
A:Ā Yes, put your big boy/girl pants on, it's just a 1/4" hole for the remote rear adjuster.Ā Don't worry, you won't be drilling through or around anything vital like wiring or fuel lines etc...
Q: What about people telling me to corner balance the car to select spring rates
A:Ā Yes, you can go through all the motions of putting time in and figuring out what spring rates to use on your own.Ā Or, you can simply tell us what you plan on doing with the car, what kind of tires you are running (drag applications) and what kind of power you are making and we can suggest something appropriate based on not only in-house testing (we did a lot) as well as dozens of customer feedback post their installations.
Q: Is Silver's TUV Certified for Germany?
A:Ā Yes
Q: Is everything designed and made in-house?
A:Ā Yes, all Silver's, they do not rely on other part suppliers.
Q: I hear these have Remote Rear Dampening Adjusters, how do they work?
A:Ā Watch This Video Demonstration On Our In-House Z06
Q: What if I have the electronic suspension, how do you address preventing an idiot light from coming on?
A:Ā There are many reputable suppliers that can help you there with a resistor plug to trick the computer that everything is OK.Ā Ā
Q: Can't I just upgrade the shocks and call it a day?
A:Ā Without getting rid of the transverse leaf in the C5/6 suspension setup, you will always have "suspension cross-talk".Ā Converting to a full coilover suspension will eliminate that and allow better control.
How to setup preload:Ā You will get our custom written install guide to assist you on installation emailed automatically after you checkout.
Havn't installed yet so I cannot speak to the parts, as they get some run time I will review. Brian at FI was amesome though all through the process. Had questions prior to ordering and he went above and beyond in providing me with answers. After I ordered the parts he called a few days later appologizing for not reaching out sooner, which is crazy cool since country was dealing with hurricane devestation. I didnt expect to recieve parts for a while however they all showed up in about a week. I will def do buisiness with them again and recommend them to anyone in the future.
I bought Silvers Neomax coilovers with aero spring rates (14k/12k) for my track car. The quality of them is great. Install was straight forward and they are easy to adjust and tune as needed. Real happy with them so far and I think they're the best value out there in coilovers. Great price without a sacrifice in quality or performance. Also Brian at FI PERFORMANCE has been great in responding to all of my questions. Has been a great experience so far.
Excellent coilovers
The best customer service from Brian
Highly recommended
Car looks great and. Handles amazing
Itās the best mod Iāve done. Should have been the first thing I did.
Brian definitely knows his stuff, he recommended these after asking what my plans were for the car. This is a huge upgrade to my C5 Z06 and the ride quality is tight and feels great!
Let customers speak for us

Works great it stiffens up the rear end and no more wheel hop best diff brace out of all I have used in the past, money well spent.
Installed the After Dark hooks on my C5: the rear hook was very easy, and if you only need one hook, it's a quick and easy install. Front is more work: you're going to want a step drill or right angle adapter, since clearance between the bumper and A/C condenser is tight. Drilling into the bumper is not trivial: it's hard, use cutting fluid and make sure your drill bits are sharp. Once it's drilled and the rivnuts are installed, it's easy from there. It's a good design, well made, and at a reasonable price.
The product was originally marked for 2005 and up gx470. I managed to fit it into my 2003 by flipping one of the front hanger mounts. Sound is throaty and deep a bit loud at first. But the sound has mellowed out after a few hundred miles. Hardest part was removing old exhaust had to use Sawzall. Make sure to buy the 2.5 donut gasket ahead of time. The system is high clearance. Its tucked between the frames no chance of hang ups.
Itās the best mod Iāve done. Should have been the first thing I did.
Brian was extremely kind and helpful to make sure I was getting set up with the correct products. The Brey Krause harness bar is extremely high quality. Donāt cheap out on safety stuff this is definitely the harness bar you want in your c5. The combination of great service from Brian and the quick arrival I highly recommend FI Performance and will definitely be using them in the future!
Five stars for the parts and service. Ride quality is better than expected for a coilover setup. And Brian was super helpful in getting the correct setup for my truck
Fits perfectly and does exactly what it needs to do. No complaints.
Brian recommended these end links after sharing my plans to do some HPDE, Autocross and Street driving for the C5 Z06. The parts feel great, I did have a warranty issue that was addressed by both Brian and AFE, I was very satisfied that they took care of my issue in a timely manner as well. Highly recommend both Brian and AFE, thank you as always for your help!
