Default QT: Spoon N1 Specs for Rightful Spring Fitment

DId search on N1's no info on the specifics. I was wondering if anyone knew the inner diameter and lenght of the n1's. My set came with some really stiff springs and i'm changing the springs however i need to know the specs for them to be able to see which springs are compatible. Car is mostly driven on the streets. I asked a few Og's on the forum and did a search but couldn't find the answer maybe some of you might know.. thanks in advance guys

Are you referring to the Spoon Showas or the New full spec suspension ?

Just remove a top hat and measure inner diameter and length for yourself.

I did a little poking around on Spoon's website, hope that helps.

Edit: btw these are linear springs not progressive, which is what you're looking for... I'm 80% sure.

I'm using 14kg front and 12kg rears with front shocks set at #2 and rears at #1 for the street and its perfect, not to solid and allows some degree of bounce.

These Spoon ADJ dampersd has a 38mm piston which is slight bigger than stock . The stroke is about 2 inches shorter and you have to run I.D. 62mm springs with that.

14k/12k is way to serious for daily driving. hell, 6k is pretty tough on daily driving....

just FYI for those who read this thread as something else.

Its not, with the shocks set #2 in the front and #1 in the rear its more than comfortable for street driving. I have riden in a friends ITR and he has stock shocks and eibach springs and his car is only slightly less solid than mine. The ride comfort also has a lot to do with the valving on the shocks, my cousin has cusco coilovers with 6kg rear and 8kg front springs (the shocks are also made by showa) but obviously have different valving and his car is way harder than mine set on the softest shock setting all round.

14k F 12k R is definately street friendly for me :D

Setting 1 or 2 for the street.

My mates sit in the car and always feel the car is smooth.

The bumpiness only shows itself on a surface that has alotta bumps per square foot :D
