Default Spoon coilovers (first gen)

I am looking into importing a set of spoon coil overs and I was wondering if any of you have any experience with them.

A second question I have is about NSX spec rims. How do the offsets fare on an S2K?

Thanks in advance for any help. The rims are already on there way, but I can sell them if they aren't going to work well.

yes those are them. I also have thought about using swift springs. did you ever run them with the spoon springs? what are your thoughts on them either way. Are they too harsh for daily driving?

I only ever had Swift springs on my set so I can't compare. I know many people that went with Swift springs on their coilovers even if they came with springs. I think they make a very good product, I own their sway bars too and am very happy.

I don't daily drive my S so keep that in mind for my personal review. I usually run them on the middle setting and they are firm for sure. Not ricer bumpy stiff, but compared to other after aftermarket coilover setups I sat in or driven on other S it would be in the top 1 or 2. On normal street settings it is firmer than:

Buddy Club
Pss9
Tien Flex
Zeal Function XS (Swift Springs too)

I think the coils are a great setup, if you are worried about them being firm, you could mess with the setting and get lower spring rates, but then where would the fun be?

ok sounds good, I will most likely be purchasing them soon. I have driven my roommates ITR with Spoon coilovers and I like the way it feels. I dont plan on daily driving my car either. I just need to get some stuff taken care of on my beater.

Now that I have some feedback on that, does anybody have any experience with NSX spec rims on these forums?
