got these on just earlier and had a short drive home in them.
1st impression. compare with the coilover I had, although it is blown at the front. In the first Instance I felt less feedback and responsiveness in the steering.
after driving this all changed. The car really rides the road really well, absorbs the roughness and bumps. BUT remain informative.
car feels really firm and tight, and it just really glides over bumps.
On cornering, theres a small difference in the instant sharpness from the previous Coilover, which was super stiff.
With the Spoon suspension, it feels much effortless on the whole car, it is hard to describe as I can almost say it turns in and corner just as well as stiff coilovers but it is really smooth in the cornering.
I think the loading on the car is really good now, as it rides the bump nicely and on turns in and corners its just effortless! I think I can take turns even faster now.
another thing is I can really feel the 4 wheels, which I couldn't before as it was just a complete hard ride before and just got shakens to bits.
I can not compare to standard EK9 as I never driven one,however compare to my friends 98spec ITR. It almost feels similar but with a lot more feedback and less roll, as well as more grip(could be down to tyres/EK9). but without/or little compromise/unnoticeable on comfort or road handling.
with the ITR it feels a bit floaty, and lose grip on that floaty-ness...EK9 feels solid and positive.
this was just from a 40min drive home, will give more when I feel more and had a proper go at it.
*look* picture taken straight when fitted, so hasn't settle it has gone a bit lower, will get some daylight pics when I can.
