any info on Spoon parts u can give?

Hi, i was wondering about some spoon products. my first question is how stiff and low is the damper and spring set? i will plan on using them for street use and im afraid it may get a little ugly if i install a mugen bodykit on some driveways..and is the setup very stiff? next question would be about the Spoon exhaust how loud is the R1 and street muffler? how do they compare to each other? sorry for so many questions and thanks for stopping by!

The Spoon springs only drop by an inch but the shocks will not fit to USDM models.

Spoon N1 muffler is not loud. You can barely hear it with the your radio on.

Why wont the shocks fit the USDM models? Does this go for all the coilover set ups for the fit?

The size of the front knuckle were different and the 2 bolts which bolts the shock to the knuckle wouldn't go thru. As a result, all JDM suspension cannot not be applied on USDM models without modifications.

Spoon header will directly bolt on to the 1.5L engine and it should past SMOG but for the cat delete, I am 101% it will not.

Whats the availability on the JDM front knuckles? And what else would be needed to make it work?

To make things easier, I will suggest you to get the shocks and enlarge the hole to make it fit.

Yes. When you enlarge them, you have to becareful because on of hole is being used for slight camber adjustment.
