Default Spoon lowering springs

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.

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.

I only have the Tein S's.

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

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?

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

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


K5^:

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

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?

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."
