depends on what you're looking to go with, but spoon is always quality and functional. it is pricey, but what good quality parts aren't?

You hit the nail on the head. If you're pursuing OEM+, yes, Spoon is your best bet. If you're looking to build an all-out time attack machine, you'll probably find that other tuners are better suited.

In terms of quality, availability, catalog yes. If I had stupid $$ and wanted to make the ultimate OEM+ JDM FL5 I would Def put spoon as my #1 goto. But their shit is mad $$$$$
I believe if you get all their parts u can be certified a SPOON vehicle which comes with a certificate or something, increases resale value like NUTS. Correct me if I'm wrong here gents.

Spoon typically modifies oem internals to tighter tolerances than stock. A company called Seeker was founded by an ex Spoon employee as kind of Spoon experimental branch. Seeker is really cool jdm company as well. I implore everybody to search best motoring fk8 on youtube. Good battle between J's, Spoon, Seeker Fk8s on the channel. Spoon built their brand on N/A machines so I do feel slightly odd plastering it on a turbo car, but thats just my ocd. Spoon certainly the most respected.

...because no one knows!
To keep it OT - Mugen is the official tuning arm, bit like BMW M Performance parts. Spoon is a spin off specialist company the build race cars and race car quality parts so are generally better engineered.

Turbonium, all high on turbonium - although the mirror glass and radiator cap is sweet.

you clearly haven’t been into this for a while…I’ve been using spoon parts since the mid 90’s. Their parts are quality. You get what you pay for

Haha was thinking the same. Spoon is pricey, but nothing out of the ordinary for tier 1 tuner parts. Very few parts companies have the same fit and finish as spoon. PRL, COBB etc american made stuff don't even come close.
Hell even HKS doesn't even compare. Closeish 2nd though.

I've been aware of spoon for some time. DSMs were my scene. I only had an RSX Type S because I needed reliable transportation.
Anyway I have a story.. Cars are my thing. You can't be into them and NOT know about spoon. Especially since I'm around Hondas.
The prices are still insane. I'm sure they are top quality. It's still insane.

Only mods I really plan on are probably J's racing full titanium exhaust ($5k) and a Hondata 93 octane tune. 295 tires up front would look all business as well.
