Installing Spoon Lowering Springs on the FK8 Type R
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2022
- In order to make my 18x9.5 +42 Rays CE28SL wheels fit my Type R properly I needed to lower the car a bit to eliminate the wheel gap. This car originally came with 20" wheels but I prefer 18s due to the fact that tires are much cheaper and the ride is slightly more compliant.
Overall I was quite pleased with the ride quality of the Spoon springs, it rides very smooth and has even less body roll than the factory springs. You can still use "comfort mode" which is really nice for daily driving, and "sport" and "+R" mode feel even more stabile. Despite being a somewhat hard install I would definitely recommend this mod.

Some good fitment!!
No more monster truck!!! Looks great!!!
No more 20” wheels either!
Installing on my fk8 next month. How's the 3-drive mode so far?
Sickkk
After driving the car for 3k since this install I’d highly recommend the spoon springs!
Great video! Just subscribed to Your channel, what are the wheels you have on the type r?
Volk CE28 SL 18x9.5 +42
@@FosterJohnsonMedia thank you 🤙
Can you do a vid driving on the new springs?
I’ll try to make some more Type R content soon!
Spoon springs feel great. They are an upgrade over the factory springs for sure.
Did you have any camber issues during alignment with this drop?
Nope was able to get it aligned fine. Removing the pins got me another -.5 of camber
Nice, are those tires 255 or 265?
265/35/18
@@FosterJohnsonMedia Nice, I already bought spoon springs but haven't installed yet and also running on 265/35/18...hopefully it doesn't rub.
@@Somchine13 What is your offset? I have 18x9.5 +42 and I don't rub at all even with passengers in the back on comfort mode. stock alignment specs more or less
@@FosterJohnsonMedia my wheels are 18×9.5 38. I will probably rub but hope it's not too bad. Lol..
Maybe after this set of wheels I'll go for offset 42 or 45, don't really want to mess with fenders or camber...trying to keep everything as stock as possible.
How does it ride compared to stock? Does it handle bumps ok?
I think it rides smoother than stock in both comfort mode and sport mode. +R mode is slightly stiffer but not in a bad way
