about other Spoon Sports parts for Accord CL7/CL9

[dinoc]

Anyone know what is this and what improves exactly ? Is it suitable for street driving, only ?

And I have the same questions for this one, too Spoon Sports Zero Bump Steer Kit:

... tough I can't find this one on Spoon's webpage is discontinued or something ?

the gear box one will be like solid engine mounts. whcih means it will make gear changes smoother and chassis has a better feel, downside is probably more vibrations

bump steer kit is only needed when your car is very low and you need this to raise the lower arm. think blueguru has some jracing ones installed.

The 1st one looks like steering box mountings, and the second looks like front knuckle and upper arm joints.

But maybe another member could confirm if this is correct.

If they are what I think then putting on a road car shouldn't be a problem.

I see thanks guys, I don't want more vibrations

The first part is interesting, i didnt know spoon did steering rack bushes. I think for me thats another one on the list as i'd like to improve my steering response further and the only way left is to take any slack out of the steering rack bushes.

A bit of difference made to steering is actually contributed by using the second part too, the roll centre adjusters. They basically give you reduced body roll, improvement in cornering force and steering response but you can still run a softer spring rate as you dont need to run a rock solid ride no matter how low you are (within reason, lol!). From what i've read the minimum your car needs to be lowered for these to be of any use is 30mm. Any lower than 30mm is perfect like me, but if you're only lowered 15-20mm i've heard they have a negative effect.

Here's a good explanation of the RCA's

I see thanks.
Well I'll be more interested in the first part, the steering bush kit, because yes I do want more steering feedback , but I"m concern about the negative side effects on street.

Don;t understand why Spoon doesn't put a good description for their items.

Googleing I've found a description here but not sure how reliable is it since I see nothing on Spoon's website .... http://www.fortyone.co.nz/**parts/view/30120.html

 

[Blue Guru]

From that description instead of being actual mounts they're inserts that will slot into gaps in the original rubber mounts to stiffen them up. The same princple as engine mount inserts except these look like aluminium opposed to the silicone inserts for engine mounts

The descriptions are always dodgy as they're translated from japanese into english using a rubbish translator, hence the engrish talk, lol!
