Spoons springs were designed to work with the stock ITR shocks.

Re: SPOON springs (George Knighton)
I thought spoon springs lowered the back too much and caused the car to push at the limits?
Yes. If you put Spoon Progressives on your car and don't do anything else with shock adjustments or swaybars, the car <u>will</u> push at the <u>limit</u>.
However, Spoon faces the fact that most of the people who buy these springs are not trying to get through the Carousel at Summit at a certain speed and with a certain attitude.
Most people who put Spoon springs on their cars will never face that situation.
When I had Spoon springs on my own car, I enjoyed it on the street and felt its limits encourage enthusiastic driving.
Most real experts feel that I really should have known better than to put Spoon Progressives on my particular car. I've been told by a Spoon wholesaler and by a Spoon employee that I should have known I'd be overdriving the springs and should have bought their coilover setup to start with.
So.... Yes, the Spoon Progressives will cause the ITR to push at the <u>limit</u> if that's the only suspension modification you make. However, that does not mean that Spoon Progressives are not a logical solution for any number of drivers who don't drive the way that I do.
If you have any doubts, talk to Mike M, who sells quite a few of the springs, and he'll advise you.

Re: SPOON springs (George Knighton)
I've been running sp00m springs on stock shocks for 23,000+ miles. My car handled very, very well for about 15,000 of those miles. My car now handles like complete **** (could also be contributed to unusual tire wear - a disadvantage of sp00m springs. To solve the problem, I now have Bilstein shocks sitting on my couch waiting for the we-todd-did weekend in January.
