Spoon Springs installed on Type S

[Azkyrie6]

I love how you call out the hates in your video. Lol, solid post btw, thanks! Can't wait to tell the mustang community I traded in my GT for my ITS

They won’t be happy, since you upgraded lol.

true story, when I was 16 yo, I wanted a mustang. Father scoured the newspapers and found someone who was selling a used 2000 white Integra LS.

it was all we could afford and I really didn’t want it. Bought the Integra anyway, grew attached and tried very hard to make it look like a championship white Integra Type R. I loved the thing even though it was the slowest model. T-boned in an intersection, Integra was wrecked but it protected me so well and I was unscathed.

said my farewells and for nearly 20 years I dreamed of owning another Integra. Here we are 2024 ITS. Happy I never got the mustang

This car was already my midlife crisis. I can’t imagine dropping it any lower and getting in and out of it on a daily basis.

“Midlife crisis”. lol me too!! .

Car looks great. It’s really that much stiffer? What setting did you run before the drop?

I’ll post a follow up video of the spoon springs review. Normally driving it, it’s not that much stiffer than stock.

The Spoon Springs are a progressive spring of a dual-rate design. This allows the springs to behave somewhat normally in normal city and highway driving with obstacles, bumps, and road imperfections; as the spring rate on one portion of the spring has a lower load deflection that is similar to the factory spring rate. However, when you’re driving the car spiritedly around sharp turns and corners and really loading the suspension up, the lower load deflection portion of the spring will be overcome by the weight of the vehicle and the higher load deflection portion of the spring will then take over…. Kind of giving you the best of both worlds.

Come to think about it I never really tried setting my individual mode suspension settings to SPORT. I guess I’ll give that a whirl. With the factory suspension I would always drive around one Sport+.

Great info, thanks. I’m always been unease about just running springs. I used to do Koni yellows and eibach sport lines springs on my tsx, I run KW coilovers “from mountain pass performance” on my model 3.
if you ran In sport + sounds like we may like a similar set up. Excited to hear what you think once you put some smiles, I mean miles down .

Just checking to see if you have had any more insight? These are at the top of my list, but this is my DD so I need it to be relatively tame around town. For reference, I usually keep it in sport for Daily use, Sport + in comfort would be a bit much I think for the family. Was hoping the progressive nature could help, but if not I might have to go H&R.

Great how too. Thanks man.

Well done video, I agree very hard to think about messing with exhaust on the ITS and it’s looking like springs will be in my future. Excited to see what wheels and fitment you landed on.

Do you have a before and after comparison pic?

Best I could find

I finished up the install of the spoon springs on the DE5. Here are some pictures and a video I made:

I just installed the H&R springs last week.

I just installed the H&R springs last week.

TEP and red both really stands out with a very classy look. Amazing
