Guys, help me out, I know the spoon springs are not supposed to drop the rear of the car as much as the pics show, but I can find NO fault in my instalation.. Help me out to see if you can noticed what I could possibly done wrong..

Front

Back

Any Ideas guys, others with Spoon springs, can you post your pics?

 

they don't work well on black ITR's... you must give them to me so that I can test them next week.

 

If those are Koni shocks, are they on their highest perch?

 

i can only see the top and bottom pic but maybe you put the front springs in the rear and the rears inthe front?

 

Wow, the rear is really low. Gotta be a setting with the Koni's.

Oh yeah, we expect a in-depth review George

 

?

 

I think it just looks like it's lower in the rear b/c of the higher fender line up front.
Did you try measuring the height of the 4 jack-up points?

 

The Konis are on the lowest perch. If you put it back to the middle, it should be alright. You should be able to see the next groove below the spring cup, but it's not there.

 

George is running 16's right?

 

Yup.

Got any pics of his Spoon windshield banner?

 

If there is something wrong, you may have something backwards.

i think reefer bob is right. if the perch was set to the middle perch, we would be able to see the bottom perch lock groove in the second picture.

 

I've looked at the actual wheel wells themselves, and isn't the rear one just a tad bit lower than the front? That would work out then if the car was lowered equally on all sides...maybe?

Spoon Banner? I don't think i sent George one of those, he did order a sweatshirt to go with His Spoon Visor that he wears though
hehe

 

Those tires look like they're on backwards.

 

I hope my drop won't be that low after my install of the Spoon springs that I'm getting from IPS... that seems awfully low for a near 3/4" or so drop from stock... it looks more like a 1 1/2" drop.... well, hopefully my install will be ok... since I'm still using the stock shocks, which Spoon springs work with...

 

Is it possible to put the rears in the front and vise versa???

Maybe they sent you different rate springs by accident.

 

Assymetrical Falken Azenis.

 

I mean it looks like the wheels should be swapped left to right.



This wheel would be mounted on the front left of the car. The ITR in the previous pictures would have this wheel mounted on the right front.

 

Please remember everyone that George is running the Azenis in the 215-45/16 size, which are huge tires.

 

It doesn't matter where you mount these tires since they're non-directional and assymetrical. The only thing that matters is you mount the tires correctly on the rims/wheels with the side marked "Outside" facing outside.

 

Yes, the front wheel arch is larger than the rear. This is why the rear end looks "lower."

My car does the same thing (different springs, but a similar drop). If you were to measure the ground clearance from the bottom of the car you should find that the front and rear are at the same level.

 

Classic quote...

 

I just read through every post on Spoon springs last night.

George has been eyeing these for some time

The rear has looked lower in all of the pics I have seen with these. On some it is more pronounced than others. I've seen worse (Eibach Sportlines), but it is just the way the body is.

 

With my spoons that i have had on for some time now they look exactly like what George's car does. A little lower in the back for some reason. I like the look.
