FK8 Master Spring Thread!

[Jaferm]

My current set up is 18x9.5 +38 with 265/35 Michelin PS4S and I don’t have any issues after I bent the front tab and trim the plastic fender in the rear.

Didn't have to buy control arms or anything for camber adjustment? Just doing those to things gave you full range of motion with no issues?
Asking because I know +45 is the safe bet but the wheels I am looking at are much easier to find in a +38

I still have have all my stock suspension components. If you want to adjust camber in the rear, you can get camber arms. SPC, Eibach, Hardrace make them.

Finished the install of the H&R springs yesterday. Good drop for me since it's my daily and the ride feels similar to stock.

FYI for anyone looking to get the Spoon springs, they're on back order at GoTuning (sole authorized USA Spoon dealer) with ETA of 3-4 months.

I ended up going with the RS-R Down SUS since spoon has such a long wait. Happy to see that both front and rear appear to be progressive.

RS-R: Down SUS (H059D)

Noticeably firmer, but still really smooth in comfort mode.

Anyone with issue on their shock absorbers for lowering with spring so far?

I take it you're running 265/35 in that pic? I might go with these and have to sell my hks hipermax coilovers...so far the colorado roads are a bit rough for hipermax

Correct, 265/35 azenis 615k on 18x9.5 +38. I did see that Tein is also progressive front and rear with a little softer of a spring rate. I went with the slightly firmer spring rate of RSR to try and avoid rubbing. So far, so good.

Heard those are bouncy. We'll see though. I'll give it some time and see if I get used to it there in CO

Yeah they are a little bouncy, but I live in NYC and I’m not complaining . I work in the outskirt of NYC. I’ve been working from home and work in the office this week and commuting. And I love the springs. They’re tight and firm.
