I have been running the Spoon eversince I bought my car new. They are stiffer and more durable than stock. It vibrates a bit during idle but it went away while you drive. I have been abussing it for the past 4 years and 3 time attacks and they are still in 1 pce

Spoon also has these engine mount collars that they say restrict the movement of the mount. It retains the rubber engine mount (which they claim is 14 kgf/mm vs 6 kgf/mm for OEM). The Spoon site says (in Japanese) that it isn't for street use (ストリート使用にはお勧めしません ) Has anyone tried them?

Your right...I was reading a current thread in Racing and Competition (https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-ra...ounts-1172631/), researching the issue in the thread, and accidentally posted in one of the old threads that also covered the topic. It is very common for there to be old threads on a topic (even older when looking at cars like a Supra TT) and one of the issues becomes the availability of the parts. Many, including OEM, start becoming unavailable. In the new thread several posters had bought and liked the Spoon kit they bought from a Japanese supplier because it included a reinforced transmission cross member.
