Yes, but the link seemed to be more a review of the kit rather than the description of a specific problem.
The thread title suggests the problem is with the spoon kit but your posts and the link seems to suggest you're thinking it may be a cure.

I see your point..
There is play in my 03 handling..
I found a link which describes a fix using a Spoon kit.
I'm asking if anyone has used the kit which has then sloved the problem or has another solution.
from the link
The little bit of play I had in the wheel is completely gone

I have the Mugen bushes in my steering rack. They ever so slightly sharpen up the feel which I needed due to the lightness in steering I get from the lighter front brakes.
Not too difficult to install.
If you have play in your steering I would check the linkage and that the rack is bolted down properly.

Play in your handling? 
You'll have to try a bit harder to explain what you mean.
I have some play in my steering rack. At a standstill, I can move the wheel a little bit without it doing anything to the wheels. I'm told this needs a replacement rack to sort out. But I don't think that's what you're talking about.
And AD08s don't give as sharp handling as the Bridgestones.
