[SiRman]

Getting Spoon springs installed tomorrow, they are finally available.:)

Will let you guys know how they feel.

Awesome, I wanted those springs but decided to hold out for a full coil-over setup:)

[PAsi]

how much of a drop are they and how much and where did ya get them? :) me like spoon

[SiRman]

Got the springs installed and they are awesome!

The drop is about 1.5" I think, I didn't measure before and after,
but there is about a 2 finger gap now where before I could fit my fist. The ride is really good, it's a lot smoother then I expected, and they are nice and stiff.

I got them at A&J Racing (http://www.aj-racing.com),
for like $450 CAN installed.

i just talked to someone from AJ Racing and they told me the drop is 25mm which converts to approximately 1". how can they charge so much for such a small drop?

It drops the CTR 25mm. The CTR is 19mm lower than the Si from the factory, so with those spings your actually lowering your car 44mm.

BTW, more $$ does not equal lower; just an overall better product with actual r&d testing. Why do you think Mugen body products are so expensive?(wind tunnel tested);)

thanks guys, and no i didn't think the amount lowered directly reflected the price. i just wondered why they would sell those springs that only lowered it 1" when most performance springs are much lower.

[SiRman]

Lower drop does not equal better performance, I think the drop on the Spoon springs is perfect for the street. They are also significantly stiffer then stock, yet amazingly smooth. After a one weeks driving impression, I am very pleased with the springs.

whats spring rates?
any pics ?

[SiRman]

Spring rates are 7.4 / 8.2, front/rear.
Sorry I don't have any pics yet.

shit i did not think about that! i forgot that the spoon springs are made with the ctr in mind. what you say makes sense. too bad i already bought some springs. damn:o

[SiRman]

Yeah I've been waiting for the Spoon springs for a long time, but it was worth the wait.:)

Those noises are usually installation issues.
