Default spoon suspension for DC2R

hi i was wondering if anyone has had any experience running this suspension on a DC2R?

http://www.spoonsports.us/ProductDet...=51600-DCR-G20

"The new Spoon adjustable damper kit. It features adjustable ride height stiffness and stroke. This is made out of chromoly steel with Aluminum components. 45mm piston is used for excellent capacity for damper tunability range. Highly recommended for high end users and circuit racing. All kits come with springs and uppermounts. Adjustable wrench are sold separately."

looks to be the "updated" version of the dc2R setup. i think the previous version was all yellow dampers + non adjustable ride height, etc. this new updated version is a little on the pricey side and has full aluminum bodies, etc.

here is the gen one version of the suspension for reference:

was looking to upgrade my current set of pic's, im open to other alternatives from j's, zeal (endless), etc.

thanks again.

The previous version of that suspension is the Spoon N1 Damper. It's all black and is not a fixed damper like those yellow ones.

I have not seen anyone run those but i'm sure there is someone out there that can chime in on how good they might be.

That is a lotta money for that suspension. I wonder if it is truly worth it.

I'd look at the Mugen NZ or N1 setup instead. Both offer the same features that the Spoon N1 setup does, but for a rebuild/refresh 5 years down the line or so, all you need to do is send them off to King Motorsports.

Still though, Have you looked at a Koni Spss3 Race shock or even the 2812? Either of those with a set of GC sleeves are going to be a tough combo to beat.
