Default Spoon springs (heard anything about em?)

ive got tenzo-R coilovers and while theyre not bad, i hate knowing that my car is unbalanced without a cornerweight session. I found two sites offering Spoon sports springs. they looked pretty nice. has anyone heard anything or rock them on their ride? If these are a poor choice, what would be my best spring only choice? i dont care about ride... just as long as it turns on a dime.

also if it helps im using Tokico HP blues....

thank you for the input ahead of time

if you don't care about your ride, get some h&r race, good price for a good spring. And also, upgrade your shocks.

would the H&R Race Springs (Stage 3) be okay?

modacar.com has many other reputible brands as well, so my choices are endless.. i know i dont want goldline, intrax, or neuspeed springs.

and responding to your 'upgrade your struts' comment, would tokico illuminas be good? i did a search on the board and it seemed quite a few people had positive things to say.

yeah illuminas would be coo, i wanted to get those but i got the blues. Kinda regretted it. Stage 3 might be a bit extreme cuz you will be LOW and STIFF, but you're not going to ride quality. Another good shock would be the koni sports. Also, i would consider finding a good pillowball mount instead of using your stock rubber ones.

Optauto has a pretty good price on h&r's also

thank you, i completely forgot to check optauto, ive got so many vendor sites book marked, that i forget to check all of them for best deal.

i am still curious to hear how those spoon springs handle. I hope their not jazzed up OEM springs.. Some of spoon's parts give off a "OEM with a kick" vibe. I am not trying to bash spoon, but some of the prices are pretty high for just slight differences..

Exactly, i'm glad you mentioned that. But yeah, spoon springs are pretty nice but they are really an arm and a leg. And i've heard that they're progressive rate pieces which is always a plus. 150 plus shipping from optauto for the h&r's

spoon springs cost too much IMO get kg/mm DR21's designed to go on your shocks and you're laughin' (no need for a camber kit either )
