Has anyone purchased Spoon 'straight spring' suspension springs, or know any specifics about them, i.e. ride quality and how much they will lower the car?
Note: I have an '08 FA5 with Tein S-tech's currently and want to switch.

Thanks to all who respond.

Wasn't aware they made springs for our cars.

Link?

I wasn't aware they made them either.

Speaking of you Tein S's, what else are riding on? I dig your cars stance, I'm looking for the same.

RICO:

Search spoonsports.us and then click FD2, you will find icons for suspension, intake/exhaust, etc. This is where I purchased my Spoon air filter.


K20roadrage:

I only have the Tein S's.

those springs are to replace the ones on their coilover system for driver preference.

USjdm

Oh ok. They also have a set of springs listed under 'Progressive Springs'. I'm hoping they are a set that I can use. Do you know i-VTEC DOHC?

i-VTEC_DOHC

those are standard lowering springs for use with oem or aftermarket shocks. you can use those.
coilover springs are different.

No camber kit?, your riding pretty low...What other risks am I looking at when just putting lowering springs on my car and nothing else? Total thred jack...my bad.

Yes the spoon drop in filter drops right in.

Hmmm. I'm going to have a look at that.

USjdm

Haha I like how this turned into a spoon air filter topic! That's OK. I guess I thread jacked my own thread...

I was always one to get a cold air intake for my car, but for the FA5 I just wanted something different. I guess old age is setting in. I bought the Spoon air filter for three reasons, to keep my car looking stockish, high quality part, and I want to begin to use Spoon parts for this car. The price was worth it for me for those reasons, so when you look at the price on the spoonsports.us website, really think it over if its worth it for you! GL

i-VTEC_DOHC

ur just paying for the name when u buy the drop in filter

K5^

Thanks.

But to stay on topic, how about those spoon coilovers?

C27A4

any picture of the spoon filter install?

vladd

what's the reason for that?

i-VTEC_DOHC

he wants to be mad jdm yo!!!

07FA5owna

sounds like it!

vladd

that's what i'm thinking. nothing about spoon has ever caught my eye other than the fact that their **** is overpriced.

i-VTEC_DOHC

very true.

but they build motors that everyone wish they could have in their car.

07FA5owna

cant hate on spoon because you are right there motors are the shiz, but you are right just paying for the name no one would know if you had spoon suspension unless you told them.

i-VTEC_DOHC

or if they knew would it looks like and saw that you have them on your car

k20roadrage

Can anyone answer my question, what other risks am I running with lowering springs? I'm aware of the tire wear with no camber kit, anything else I should be aware of?

vladd

really? what's so awesome about their motors? do you know the specs of any of them? just because you heard spoon motors mentioned in fast and furious doesn't make them "the shiz."
