This is the picture I found on AJR's site when I looked for Spoon coilovers, is the back a one piece as shown (coil on shock) or is it the same as the b-max ones (non-height adjustable)

These are not worth it... I was looking at these until I talked to ben and we ran #'s compared to T1R B-Max

they are more money for sure, but they are fully tune-able with springs, etc

Here are the Specs for the Spoon Full Spec dampers:

- 4 way compression and rebound adjustment
- ride height and shock length adjustable
- maximum drop 2"
- full aluminum made

I have expierences with EK, DC2 nd AP1 but I haven't seen the ones for the Fit in person.

my 4th gen prelude had spoon suspension, for about 3 weeks, before i got rid of it for TEIN

my best firend had them on his SI, some problem, lots of bonuce and strange squecking nosies

maybe they have gotten better since i got them 4 years ago, but i think i'd go with someone else

these are spoon coilovers you are talking about?

seems strange since they use them on their own race cars

Spoon race car uses Showa race dampers instead of the ones which they used on the street.

The Spoon Fixed dampers are made by Showa and they are developed for street use only. Spoon full Spec dampers are developed and made by KYB and it is developed for street and track usuage but not for RACING.
