Anyone using Spoon Shocks?

**ordinary** · 04-03-2008 11:54 AM

I have seen these on Nengun and the likes for around $1200 ish delivered. Includes external reservoirs for the rear shocks but no height or damper adjustment. Does anyone have these with the standard or aftermarket springs?

Cheers

Chris

for that kind of money, you may as well spend $400 more and get an awesome set of coils....

1.6k can't really buy u an "awesome" set of coils. It will just buy you coils lol.
There's a guy in WA whos running Spoon Showa coilovers I think? I dont remember correctly but I'm pretty sure they would be awsome.

$1600ish can get you a set of Bilstein PSS9 at the current exchange rate....

Is anyone running them with the standard springs?

Im not sure what S2000s are like but when my E36 M3 got to about 100,000kms the shocks were feeling very ordinary (and it was on 12 years old). I replaced them with Bilsteins and it was back to full health!

I guess by the time you change the shocks and springs to Spoon you wouldnt get much change from $2000 but im sure that it would be more compliant on the road then rock hard coilovers... Depends what you what to use the car for really...

Really? Where do you buy your parts from?

i thought that those spoon shocks were pretty much our standard s2000 shocks just tweaked (probly re-valved or someshit) by spoon.. because im pretty sure our standard shocks are made by showa too...
