tryign to sway him on type r headlights nice light rims clean living you know... and teins or zeals, but he keeps sayign stuff about spoon's coilovers, yet he knows nothing about cars, just from the few tuners i have showed him.

CAN ANYONE OFFER ANY HELP?>??? or answers opinions? i dont care anything just so i can show him either not to or to waste his dough... I have tein HA's on my ek and loves them.

 

spoon is overpriced and over-rated.

thats what i keep tellign him, but he makes bank and can afford them so im thinking to shut up and let him try them out just to see, cause i've never ridin or seen the Spoons in person

 

 

I plan to buy Tein HA when my current sussy setup needs replacing. Im using Spoon Progressive Springs on my DC5R and love them. Slight oversteer and pretty much eliminated the bodyroll. Nice drop also.

All in all Tein HA, if as good as on the DC2R would be excellent however the DC5R Tein HA is fairly expensive but I think it would be worth the money.

 

TEIN HR & HA rust out like crazy.

U won't know how good the SPOON(SHOWA)setup is until u tried one. I'm not sure if the N1 coilover setup is available for the market yet since my SPOON cataloge only shows the damper kit. But for further info u can always contact Ben(AJ PwR) at info@aj-racing.com or Mike @ IPS and Dave @ R&D Motorsports

Have you had any experience with a Spoon product before? How about Tein? If you don't have a clue of what you are talking about, don't say it.

 

ouch....

 

yah i know.. that hit the heart hard... no more from me.

 

well I am asking because I do own a nice lil set of HA's on my EK. And my friend just bought an RSX. Another friend has spoon cams magnetic drain bolts, and say they aiiiight, but I do not have experience with products beside sw388's or non performing parts. This is why I ask.

and as to the RUSTING , my teins do get grit and grime up in there, which is what is rusting, plus the top threaded part below the clicking adjusting **** rusts a lil bit

 

Besides SPOON, there is Buddy Club racing spec damper also. Which is height/stroke/stiffness adjustable.

A&J Racing have a set of ZEAL prototype coilovers in their showroom, but I'm not sure when will they put that into production.

 

I can't stress it enough people, Don't talk about a product if you have NO experience with it.

 

Well I have no experience with SPOON coilovers but I do have some prices to try and help you. At the moment there are 2 types of set up you can go with that are from spoon. Here are the set ups

1. Spoon Sports Damper Kit (coilover) =26oo.oo
2. Spoon Sports Damper Kit ( non adjustable)=1oo4.oo

These kits are not cheap, but maybe your friend should check out Skunk2, or ground control, or tein. All these brands are good, but then again spoon is know for thier lightness and duribility.But Spoon is mad money, if your friend wants them let him get them. Good luck, and I hope this helped.

Simply you pay whay you get for. Showa (Spoon , Mugen) are definitely the best bet but price is expensive.

I will suggest Buddyclub Racing Spec dampers.

 

I hear good things about ground control coilovers

 

eww poo

 

OK, so what's your friend planning to do with this RSX? Coilovers might be more than you need if you aren't racing IMO. Then again, if your friend does make good money, then it's wide open. Go by colour if you want to. j/k

Anyways, all I know about Teins, Zeals, Mugens, Spoons and everything under the Japanese sun I've read in these forums. Personally, I'm using Spoon non-adjustable dampers and very happy with them. But that's just for daily driving fun and I would never have paid the brand new price for them (bought used). My two cents.

 

yeah, he is just gogin to be gogin for a streetable fun new car. HE doesnt know more than they average 10yr old abotu honda tuning so for the most part he's probably gonna be askign a lot of peopel their opinions on what to do with his paychecks having a brand new toy to play with.

im trying to get him to do dc5 headlights
then concentrate on real performance like building his motor

 

good things about ground control coilovers

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

IMO performance before looks...
