can someone please explain to me besides the spoon name, what makes them so much better than lets say the H&R springs for ITR's? or the eibach?

I looked at the dampening rates and all of the other important factors...and i dont see much of a difference.

Spoon Progressive Springs are designed for use with stock dampers, so there is no worry of blowing your shocks after a year

If you drive your car like a rally car with Spoon springs , I am pretty sure your stock shocks will blow within a week. It is very hard to say how long your stock shocks will last and it always depend how you drive as well.

so it WILL blow my shocks much faster than stock springs right?

and what about handling? with spoon springs will it turn any better or it's mostly for looks?

and how much are you guys selling it for?

The H&R ITR street springs rates are very similar to the Spoon spring rates

H&R: 6.44F / 5.72R
SPoon: 6.5F 5.5R

from what I've seen, the listed drops are different but the <u>actual</u> amount seems to be about the same.

- My bad about the 2" thing... I thought all H&R Sports drop (1.8~2")... what I meant was 1.5"... hehe

- Yoshi: When you say H&R ITR Street Spring, you are taking about H&R ITR Sports which have drops 1.5" F / 1.3" R, right??
So the actual drop for the Spoon Springs is roughly twice the listed drop??

- Thanx guys... but I already know the listed drop... curious about the actual drop

- Also... are these H&R ITR Sports progressive springs also?? I was under the impression that they weren't.

It will wear doen the shocks faster. Handling wise, will be much better over stock. Reasons to buy Spoon springs cuz Spoon offers more precise rates over H&Rs.
Spoon doesn't really care much about looks and they prefer more into a sleeper style.

Please IM me for prices.
