Default How good are Spoon Springs?

Right now, my suspension setup are Koni Sport Shocks (yellows) with H&R Sport Springs.. However, I am considering selling them and getting some Spoon Springs.. What do you guys think of them?

I ordered some, and will be installing them soon...sorry doubt this helps.
Yes, I admit I can't outdrive the current suspension, but I can beat the current
looks. The rest of the car looks great, but the gap has got to go.
I don't feel like messing with coilovers right now, and I'd rather put the money into the engine, hence, spoon springs..seemed like a logical choice. Hopefully they'll
work the best with stock shocks.

It's a cheap and safe way to lower the car without hurting handling. From what I have heard...

Basically I'm curious as to if Stock Shocks with Spoon Springs would be a better setup than my current setup (konis & H&Rs)

Are the spoon springs designed for spoon dampers or stock shocks?

Why are you buying all these Spoon products when you clearly have a better, if not the same setup. Koni Shocks w/ H&R's is very good. What's the point of going back to stock just so you can run the Spoon springs? I think a lot of what you're doing to your car is based off if you can use spoon chitl or not.

Not to be a dick, but I don't remember saying anything about selling them for sure... I believe I said I was considering it... Provided the stock shock/spoon spring setup was better.

No intention of saying anything bad, but just seems like that's what you were doing. And also I don't remember say anything about you selling your current setup. Only person I know of with the Spoon setup is Type R 599. Good Luck.

Save your money and keep the H&R. Or just sell the Koni set up and get some coilover!!

his shocks will tell you that they're very angry in ~10k miles or less.

Hmm. Spoon springs don't naturally lower the car much...I think just 1/2" lower than stock ITR springs.

Why was the car that much lower?
Don't know... it definitely wasnt 1/2" drop. kg/mm spring install we did on R R's ride was more like 1/2" drop. Spoon springs were much lower in drop than kg/mm springs.

Marc, you got any new pics after it settled?

Yes i agree. When i saw Marc's car at UCF (we always park next to each other on Wed night) it was pretty low. I didn't think the springs would lower it that much. I loved the look of it. can't wait for mine to come in. R&D
