Default difference between spoon adj. and non-adj damper

Are there any differences between the 2 other than one is adj and one is on-adj?

In terms of piston size, compress, rebound, overall performance, reliability etc?

Also, do the non-adj mate with straight spring, how will the height be look like for the non-adj?

The non-adjustable version is the "sports" version while the adjustable version is more of a "race" version.

The non-adjustable dampers are made to be used with OEM style springs, not straight springs.

you can adjust the adjustable ones and you cannot adjust the non adjustable ones.

I'm assuming this is Rex?
Piston size is the same because Spoon believes stock is best in this case. Rebound will be less aggressive than the threaded coilover setup and it will be more "reliable" because it is valved less aggressively. Their sport dampers are designed to work in conjunction with their sport springs....rated at 6.5kg/5.5kg both of which are progressive. The sport dampers are also the stock length while the coilovers are short stroke.

No...non adjustable must use regular type lowering springs. As they feature factory perches. They also lower -20mm from stock ITR height.
