spoon progressive springs

[maribou912]

hey guys,
so im pretty new here so go easy on me. i did some searching but couldnt find much about the spoon progressive springs. basically i DD my car about 500 miles a week and i want to go a little bit lower but not full track coilovers or anything. funds are tight too. im basically a broke college student lol. so heres my questions
Will these work with my stock shocks like they say?
Are they worth the money?
Will i need a camber kit?
and does anybody on here have them?

Thats strange that there labeled spoon I have never seen spoon springs for our cars but I have seen progressive springs like these http://showstoppersusa.com/tein-s-te...2-up-civic-si/ I personally would either get the ones I provided or tein s techs, both have great spring rates for being just springs and they drop you about 1.5 inch's to help with the rediculous stock wheel gap.

anywho, you wont need a camber kit, there fine on your stock shocks so long as there in good condition I ran a couple years on stock shocks and camber till I got my coilovers and I was just fine.

ooops I ment these are the progressive http://showstoppersusa.com/progress-...2-up-civic-si/

alright so heres a more reliable source on the springs..http://www.spoonsportseurope.net/ind...rings-ep3.html
its my understanding that lowering springs on stock shocks will ride like hell is this not true of the progress springs? i guess there cheap enough for me to save a little more to buy tokiko blues or something along that line but ive never seen springs that actually say there for use with stock shocks like these do.

SHG Easy E had spoon springs for a bit on stock shocks. The spoon springs aren't that popular because of the price. You can put springs on stock shocks but they will reduce the life of the shocks. By how much? It depends on your driving style and how low you go. Don't go any lower than 1.5". Any lower and the car drives like crap regardless of what shocks / springs you have. It has to do with the angle of the tie rods.

As far as camber kits go, the rear will flair out so you will need a kit to pull it back in. For the front its not required as negative camber on the nose is actually a good thing. Usually people get a front camber kit to get MORE negative camber.

Awsome...so are they good for the price? I'm assuming the quality will be good since there spoon...if I put them on what els should I be replacing in the prosses

Spring Rate F/R (Std)
6.3(6.2)/ 3.9(2.8) kg/mm

Normal Difference
-40 mm

Straight out of my Spoon Sports catalog.

I believe it is engineered by progressive, but it was produced by Spoon. Makes sense? If I didn't have coilovers then i would have picked these up.

If thats there spring rates then I wouldint touch them there backwards.

If thats there spring rates then I wouldint touch them there backwards.

what exactly do you mean by that?

what exactly do you mean by that?

you want a stiffer spring rate in the back and softer in front.

[maribou912]

does that mean these are no good then?

[makavelibranded]

I wouldint buy them, probably turn the EP into more of an oversteer turd.
