Just got them in the mail, thanx AJ Racing! Going to install them this week. Mine are blue, I saw some old pix of the Spoon springs and I thought they were all black.

As far as the install, did anyone have any problems with these? They didn't come with any instructions, so I'm guessing just follow the Helms manual. Do I need to trim the bumpstops, though? Or do I just take the dampers apart, replace the spring, and put all the parts back?

I also noticed in various places in the Helms manual they say to replace nuts (self-locking), washers, etc. Is this a big concern, i.e, should I go out and buy replacement nuts for the top of the damper and the nut on the flange bolt?

Nice!!!

 

Beautifulllllllll

 

I never replace those bolts and nuts. Just make sure everything is torqued to spec...

 

congrads on the spoon springs. I on the other hand ordered Spoon SPrings from AJ Racing in Jan 2002 and been given the run around about the whereabouts of my order.. Now i know where they went

 

NIce springs man what is the drop on them?

 

 

Very nice

 

just curious if there is a big difference between spoon springs, and say...eibach, or H&R, or something more common.

 

Spoon Springs has a specific drop and rates. It has been tested and design to work with stock shocks.

 

So, are the Spoon springs blue now and not black?

 

Any idea on the specific rate? Or is that a Sp00m secret?

Will
-who has stock shocks..

 

i still have a hard time trying to understand how the stock shocks can handle those springs as low as they lower the itr?? from the pics i've seen the fender in nearly touching the tire...

 

Spoon progressive spring rates for the ITR are:

front: 6.5 (4.4)
rear: 5.5 (4.4)

They are supposed to lower the car 20mm, but I have heard it is actually a bit more than that.

 

yummy. Spoon springs own, you'll like them. Wish mine were blue.

-Marc who's stock shocks are fine after 7K miles on sp00m springs

 

They were pretty courteous, and they told me they would arrive mid-June, which is exactly when the springs showed up.

 

hrmm...extra 50hp w/ those springs huh! lol, i'm just messin witcha. Sick springs tho!

 

Well i was given the run around again and again. I ordered mine in Jan. and was told it would arrive in a month. A month passes, emailed, was told to wait another month. You get the picture..this continued up to June. Funny how they charged a inital deposit and charged another deposit last month when he had no intentions of shipping my order. One email, my salesrep even blamed spoon sports as it was not in his control. I dont blame AJ racing at all as i'm sure this was an isolated incident with one of their salesrep mishandling business--unless i was dealing with management, than i would be very upset.
this was so wrong in so many ways.....

 

That's good to hear as my Spoon Springs are coming next week.

 

can u post before and after pics?

 

swwweeettt

 

i think you got wrong set of springs.

there is no blue springs for dc2. they are black.

and blue ones are for s2k's

it might have been mislabel'd. i am not sure thogh

 

just from looking at both pictures i can tell those are for the integra, the s2000 springs are not as tight as the integra. i guess spoon changed the colors
