    I took your advice and went ahead with those recommended toe settings. I did not have the same luck matching your front camber, could only get 2.1 up front and so matched that in the rear. Car is sitting nicely currently and rides great now that the toe was corrected after the suspension work...

    The Spoon FL5 Spec springs have settled a bit after day 2 and 100 miles of driving. The rear fender gap is less than the front as others have already mentioned, however, the side skirt remains level with the pavement. It looks like Spoon had a decision to make: lower the car so that it the...

    I’m looking at different spring isolators to accomplish what you did with that shim once the rear settles.

    Appreciate it! How long did it take for your springs to settle? Yeah pretty aggressive and I still have to bring it in for an alignment. I’m planning on dialing in the camber and toeing out. link to reel:

    I'll know for sure when i get it properly aligned this week. But it's looking too tight with that offset, would poke out in the front without additional camber, perhaps a coilover would help with less ride height.

    Installed my new wheels. 265/35/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS on 18x9.5 +35 CE28SL in Blast Bronze. Lowered on Spoon FL5 spec springs with Eibach rear adjustable camber arms and front adjustable white line ball joints. Front strut pin removed to add additional camber.
  7. Spoon Springs vs Eibach?

    Sounds like you have the best mod regardless of power anyway. Driver mod. Iā€˜m aligning my car soon and will increase the camber for the rear with the Eibach arms and remove the front pin on the struts to get closer or over 3.0. I’ll be on similar wheel specs but a 265/35 RE71RS tire as I...
  8. Spoon Springs vs Eibach?

    I appreciate the feedback and I’m sure I’ll arrive at the same conclusions. Did you do any other upgrades in addition to the springs? I went ahead and replaced the front lower ball joint and rear camber arms for added adjustability for a proper track alignment.
  9. Spoon Springs vs Eibach?

    I don’t mind testing different suspension options. So I went ahead and installed them. I’ll take proper photos of the drop and report back with on road feedback this week.

    Have not even left my garage yet after the install. No feedback till I hit the track on August 1st.

    Correct! Also added the optional Leveler Kit which allows you to adjust the tilt position of the plate.

    He’s got coil overs with 18x9.5 +35 wheels on 265/35/18 tires.

    Mounted a non-drill front plate by Slybrackets. It mounts to the mesh and can be removed quickly with a screwdriver. www.slybrackets.com

    Lower rates on the FK8.
  16. Spoon Springs vs Eibach?

    I just got confirmation from Eibach on their Spring offerings with a disclaimer that all should be aware of. Note from Eibach: ā€œReminder, springs are FL5 specific, and none of them are on the shelves yet, so if someone is saying they have them, it is either FK8 or a European kit, which is...

    Keeping it clean is not the issue for me. It's eliminating the swirling that occurs after several washes. Even a hand wash will add light swirls and accumulate. My hope that PPF will stop the swirling :)

    Picked up my new 2023 Honda Civic Type R in Crystal Black Pearl. I sold my 17 Type R back in March of 22 and could not stay away from this gen! Within 48 hours of ownership I decided to protect the black paint and have it paint corrected and have the entire car wrap in PPF. My local shop...
