Default Spoon Sports Progresive Springs

I was wondering if anyone had any feed back about the Spoon Progressive springs and othe stock suspension conponets. Will this pairing upset the suspension geo.? I have heard of some aftermarket spring destroying the dilicate balance of the stock suspension conponets. I was wondering if this might do something similar?

Thanks for your input.

Hey,
I currently am running the Spoon Progressive Springs, they are very good actually. I have tracked the S2000 twice with these springs and once stock, and it does not upset the balance at all, actually it feels even better and obviously more stiff then stock.

But is it worth the cost... I am considering them as well but heard they are made by kg/mm. So why not just buy those- they sit lower than I want!

I just confused myself...

Spoon have a habit of sticking a picture of a stork on things and adding a markup. Go with the Kg/mms.

Are the spring rates equal to KG/mm?

So kg/mm's over Spoon's eh? I guess if they make em ya might as well go with a better price, sounds good to me.

Sorry it took me a while to find my way back to this thread... I am not 100% sure about kg/mm making these for Spoon but it is what many think to be true. And as stated above Spoon is good at outsourcing and then charging a butt load.

The good thing is that they outsource with the best/top quality manufacturers!

I am curious if Spoon had these manufactured by Kg/mm but to their specs- ie. spring rates...

I do know that Spoon wanted to keep these close to stock specs as to not upset the geometry too much, but addressed/ reduced some body roll by raising the rates ever so slightly. I wonder if Kg/mm is the same rate...
