I like how you put your amber blinkers back in after the drop

Are those euro ITR rims? Dang, I want some euro ITR rims.

I have only driven about thirty miles around town so I dont know yet. The car does feel very planted and everything seems good so far.

Yeah, $800 USD. That's $12XX Canadian dollars plus shipping and taxes. And they don't include tires. I don't want them that badly

6.5kg/mm (front) = 363.4lb/in
5.5kg/mm (rear) = 307.5lb/in

I will commwnt about the handling as soon as I get to try it out. My car has pretty much sat in the garage since last Thursday when I installed them. I used the stock shock because I heard that was what Spoon recommended. They are very easy to install. Much easier than the H&R O.E. Sport springs I put in my GSR a few months ago. I will put more pics up top.

Who's driven these on the track?

Let's say you have Azenis on 16x7 Spoon wheels.

Think there'll be any problem in full squat mode, coming out of Turn 5 Summit?
Hmmmm, good question. Very nice car CW ITR. Where did you purchase the ITR rims from? Did you get them brand new?

For some reason, the drop of the Spoon springs don't seem as drastic with 16" wheels. The rear fender wells don't "eat up" the 16s as much as it does with the stock USDM wheels.
