Ever since I installed H&R Super Sport springs (1.4"), I absolutely hated how the front wheel gap is larger (by 1 finger) than the rear. D2 springs also have this problem. Tein and Eibach do not because they're 1.2F/1.0R, but that's not low enough for me. I'm on 18x9.5 et38 wheels with 245/35...
In October I installed a Spoon shift knob. After a month I didn't like how skinny it was, so I installed an Acuity ESCO knob. After 3 weeks I didn't like how fat the Acuity was, so I went back to the Spoon knob. I feel like Goldilocks trying to find the just-right knob.
My current knob...
How different is braking with the Brembos? A guy who did the swap on a 10th gen Accord told me the brake pedal needs significantly less pressure/effort.
I'm curious to try the Wunderladen RMM if I can get one on sale. Also rear camber arms. The week before BF I'll check IG accounts from Wunderladen, PRL, and Whiteline for BF announcements. They all had sales last year.
My experience makes me wonder if Go Tuning (official USA Spoon distributer) arbitrarily increased prices of US stock by 15% to reflect the Japan tariff. Items that were in the country before tariffs took effect. Screenshot from Spoon USA/Go Tuning's site of the same knob below:
Last year I...
This was my first time ordering from Japan. I ordered a Spoon Sports shift knob from Black Hawk. I paid for the cheapest/slowest shipping option.
I paid $94 total. I would have paid approximately $13 less (after California sales tax) had I bought it locally and picked up 5 miles from my house...
I didn't know Cobb made an RMM. 😲 The description states it utilizes a combo of 2 different bushings for lower NVH, like the Wunderladen RMM. I never tried the Wunderladen, but 10th and 11th gen Civic owners rave about it. Makes me curious to try it.
So many FL5s 🤩
Note the 6 FL5s in the top image (3 in foreground, 3 in background)
I believe this is Spoon Sports USA's FL5. So many Spoon parts, including the radiator. Tires are 275 wide! I noticed Spoon doesn't make a front strut bar. Makes me wonder how beneficial a front strut bar is...
Now that the weather is cooler and I don't use AC daily, I swapped in the FL5 RMM with Powerflex inserts. Using this with AC on at idle causes harsh vibrations. This was the 7th time doing this. Took me less than 10 minutes. Would have been quicker had I lubed the ends of the RMM to make it...
