just wondering if any1 has spoon progressives on their rides...

- opinion on ride height/handling
- noises from them (i.e. clunky noises or scraping noises when going up kerbs)
- any pics?

preferred responses from ek owners but others are most welcome to post their experiences too :D

any1 got pics too?

a friend of mine had them.... he said handling was obivously better than stock but the ride height was similar to stock.... meaning they sat frickin' too high. If u want something lower to the ground, this probably isnt the springs for u

so height quite the same eh?

i guess later they can be put onto some koni yellows...not after dramatic height diff. when u're too low u can't go anywhere =(
maybe 3-4cm lower is ok...
time to find me some pics on civics then...any1 know where i might find some?

that would be because Spoon parts are modded stock parts?

no, spoon springs are definitely not altered stock parts.

Springs should drop the ride on an Ek about an inch of "working" height. ie one inch into the guards. They are not deisgned to be a "super low" spring... everyone knows the lower the spring on stock shock the more damage is done.
