Yes I have just purchased Spoon Front, Rear, And lower rear struts and i was wondering do any of you think i wasted my money or is it really worth the pretty penny????

 

its not worth it..sell it to me cheap

 

I'm assuming you meant strut bars, but some prefer to call them tie bars. I have the Spoon front and rear upper tie bars on my 99 hatch and love them. They are definitely quality. You'll see when you put them on, you'll kinda have to jack up the car on one side to get the body to flex just enough to put them on. Once everything is tightened down, it's solid! What's really impressive is the engineering behind it. The bar itself is extremely light, but when installed, it seems like its a much heavier bar. So enjoy!

PS - put the brackets on the shock towers first, but don't tighten them down. Allow them to swivel on the shock bolts and then try to get the bar on there, then torque them down. I haven't installed the lower, so I can't help you there.

 

i think you wasted money, but oh well, i waste tons of money.

also you forgot the "bar" in the title i was surprised to see that SPOOM was taking other people's struts/shocks, slapping their sticker on em and marking em up 150% but it was a false alarm...

 

what does it matter if other people think it is a waist of money.. it is going on your car and it was your money....

i think is was a good buy...

 

I have a 96 hatch just slapped the rear lower one on dont have the chance to drive it yet because we are currently doing a motor swap gettin it ready for an upcoming type r meet. THanks alot for the feedback (my first good post) or atleast i think it is

 

Here is a picture of the rear lower

 

arent those struts braces? or are they struts? i thought a strut was part of a coilover system...

 

meh spoon stuff in general is overprice japanese crap...

 

I also think you meant strut tower bars and lower tie bars but damn, those are pretty, well worth the dollar spent!!

 

I don't understand how they are supposed to be any better than the ebay stuff. Weld quality aside, they still have the pivot points that everybody complains about, except they cost 10x more. Atleast now you can put spoon stickers on your car w/o being a poser...

 

I do think the rear lower tie bar is useless. Front and rear strut bars may work to some extend.

I have all 3 and I sold the rear lower tie.
