would anyone buy spoon suspension (adjustable) over any others if they could get it for 1500$?
I'm in the market for parts but i need advice.

 

spoon adjustable what? shift knobs? adjustable brightness LED exhaust tips?

 

If you're talking about suspension, alot of East coast honda challenge racers have had positive things to say about buddy club.

 

yes I'm talking suspension, I've heard buddy club is awesome but spoon is by far the way to go if you can afford it and for 1500$ it's not too bad.

Says who?

R&D Motorsports has the Buddy Club setup on sale for less than that.

 

I wonder if we could talk you into tell us more about your car and what you are trying to do?

There's no doubt that Spoon knows what it's doing w/suspensions, but there are (for most of us) cheaper alternatives that would do the job as well.

Perhaps you really do need the Spoon/Showa fully adjustable coilovers for your purpose...but I kind of doubt it.

 

I have a 97 ITR and will be driving the car on the track mostly just for fun (RR/autox). I have a NASA membership and live in northern CA. The car will also see allot of street use because I can't stand not to drive it. The reason for all the spoon stuff is because I can get it at cost, but only spoon. Say suspension 1500$, 15" wheels for 250$ each.... Etc. The only thing that really attracts me to spoon is the quality. I know there are lots of other high quality companies out there but spoon basically uses modified Honda parts and I would not mind paying a bit more for the Honda reliability

 

I just got done with R&D’s web site the buddy club suspension sounds and looks good but even w/ the special its only 75$ cheaper then spoon with my deal. And R&D sells spoon adj. suspension for 2,225$. Or maybe i should think of a third suspension to get? I dunno

 

OK. First question.

Have you done your research about the heavy front vs heavy rear controversy, and have you consciously made a decision to go heavy front?

If you are deliberately going heavy front, have you already also considered swaybars and camber and made your decisions about that?

Personally, I went heavy rear and never had cause to look back. If you're picking heavy front, then you will increase the car's tendency to understeer, so you need to provide for swaybars and camber at the same time.

 

Step 1: Stock suspension. No extra cost, thought, research or tuning required.
Step 2: Put money into tires, brake pads and schools.



RJ - who isnt even sure if he needs a bigger rear swaybar...
