Yes, it is, at that price, but it's unlikely to stay at that price.

The owner's explanation for his bad eBay feedback is also something you need to think about, whether or not you believe that it was his girlfriend that was responsible.

Yeah, I'm just giving you guys a heads up. I was searching around ebay and came across the ad.

That seems pretty good. How do they compare to Zeal S6?

For the price of the Spoon/Showa setup you could get chromoly Buddy Club suspension which is lighter and save money as well. I think that set up is way over priced.

Do you even own or have ridden/driven in this setup to make this sort of comparison?

The RS damper from First Inc. is probably one of the heavier setups on the market. And it is no lighter than the Spoon Showa setup.

Buddy Club RS dampers are good becoz it's stroke adjustable and big piston size.

Buddy Club RS dampers are

SPOON N1 dampers are

Re: Spoon/Showa coilovers on ebay. (spoonek4)

If anyone is interested, I'd like to get rid of my original ITR shocks (only).
These have about 85K of highway miles on them.

I'm thinking about $100, if I have to ship them then it will be a couple $ more. Ed

Personally I like Spoon better over ZEALs. Performance of both dampers varies to different driver. With running heavy rate springs like F.16k R.14k Spoon still has an awesome ride.

If the price is close , Spoon SHOWAs should get your vote.

The guy is claiming they'll fit an EK chassis......they won't.
The rear shocks won't fit EK rear lower control arms. Those will only fit DA/EF/EG/DC chassis's with the aide of ITR rear lower control arms.

Just some FYI if you own an EK.

Both buyer and seller are shady...I bet it's the same person or they know each other.
