Spoon Progressive Spring Rates: Front 4.7 kg/mm, 6.9 kg/mm, drop 25mm

I don't have any data on the shocks. They do absorb road imperfections very well, while being aggressive enough for track duty.

I would compare the Spoon shock/spring combo to CR suspension with a drop, tuned by Spoon only ever so slightly more aggressively.

Probably only 1 in 10 who buy aftermarket suspension need 36 way adjustable shocks. If they're set up right off the bat, that's all that counts.

Still absorbing the supercharger. I am very much enjoying it. Power and torque delivery is incredibly linear (nothing like a turbo). The rotrex unit is very quiet.

Got rid of the M3. New more usable 560hp DD. Perfect complement to the S2000.
