Spoon Sports Front Stiff Plate

[Henlin]

Does the stiff plate make the steering feel heavier? I just did the rear Spoon sway bar and Spoon front stiff plate and made the steering feel super heavy. Would like to know if you guys felt the same. Front stiff plate might be too much for daily driving as the steering response Feel like you are on R mode on Comfort setting.

The rear ARB will have a greater effect on steering than the stiff plate. I always tell people don’t get a rear ARB until you’ve tracked the car and get a feel for it on the limit.

I too was thinking the rear bar at first, but maybe its the combination of both the rear bar and stiff plate working in conjunction. Stiff plate should make the steering more rigid because if reduce flex.

Complete your setup with a Spoon front sway bar and get the Spoon rigid collars as well if you don’t already have them. The whole setup (sway bars/stiff plate/rigid collars) works well together.

The front sway bar is the same size as the stock from what I'm reading, so is the advantage from the two holes the sway bar has that add the 130% and 136% stiffness?

Spoon is slightly bigger at 30mm and yes, offers two stiffness increases 130% and 136%. I’m using the Spoon endlinks as well.

It's only 0.8 mm larger, but are you lowered 40MM or more? I guess that's their recommendation for running their end links.

That and isn’t it solid? Cuz the oem one is hollow I think I read?

Yes, I’m right around 40mm lower.

I've ordered the Spoon Springs and Spoon RSB so far. I'm about to place my order for the Spoon Stiff Plate and Rigid Collars, and may now consider the FSB. Do you mind me asking @jj33low what setting you have your FSB set to? Have you experienced any difference in under/oversteer vs. stock? I realize that Spoon will make the car balanced, but was wondering primarily if you're at the 136% or the lower 130%.

We installed this on a customers car along with other Spoon goodies. It definitely all transformed the car and chassis. Responsive, a lot tighter/less roll, but not harsh (car also has mugen vibration dampers).

- Spoon lowering springs
- Spoon front and rear subframe rigid collars
- Spoon front lower stiff plate

We are a Spoon dealer as well, let us know if you're looking for any parts (Spoon or otherwise). And if you're looking for a Type R specialist shop, we are here to serve the DFW and North Texas area!

@ctechauto does the Spoon stiff plate displace the skid plate or can both be installed?

The spoon stiff plate replaces the factory chassis brace. If you mean the splash guard (skid plate) under the engine, that is untouched as its in a different spot. The chassis brace is towards the front-middle of the car covering part of the end of the front pipe and the beginning of the catback exhaust.
