I could be waiting another month or so for my TC-4’s and I couldn’t wait lol. What wheels did you decide to go with?

Finally put my spoon springs on. Wow. So much better than eibach.

Before with eibach I felt like the car wobbled everywhere in every mode. Then if I hit a bump I felt like it was bottoming out.

Spoon spring feel more stable and not jarring or wobbly.

Do you get a clunking noise from the fronts when going over speed bumps? Has been my only complaint thus far.

Anyone in the Kansas city area want to make a few bucks and help me install my springs?

My eibach rides perfect so not sure why yours is so bad. Is a bit tad stiffer than stock and rides smooth no wobbles.

Maybe it could be from different wheels?
it was the same crappy ride on stock wheels. Maybe it's the area I'm in...roads suck.

Either way, I confirmed what I thought...figured it was the prokits, and opted for spoon...and the way spoon springs are designed, it feels way better

no, however, another member said he gets a sound when going over speed bumps also...and it is most likely a coil slapping against another coil. If I get that eventually, I'll just put on spring silencers. Not sure why it didn't come with some already

Damn you beat me to install! I haven’t found a shop to do mine yet (don’t have the time to do it myself). Glad you like them though!

I just wanted to thank everyone on this thread for the informative comments and opinions. I ended up order swift springs and they will arrive this Wednesday. I hope to have them on by the end of the week and I will definitely post my experiences with them.

Hey so me and another were talking about this. I wasnt surprised since there were no spring silencers. It's the coils snap you are hearing...hitting each other. According to another member spoon has admitted to this and supposedly they have made silencers for this...trying to get more info

Interesting.. do Eibach and Swift already come with silencers? I'm starting to get used to the sound and I'm hoping it will lessen once I add 18s and have more rubber to absorb some of the shock.

yes as far as eibach, they do come with silencers...not sure why spoon didn't offer it, It seemed an obvious requirement, lol.

As for 18s, it won't help...the spring will still clap against a coil. I just ordered some silencers for about 20 bucks. I was told by another member they worked like a charm.

I bet after I get mine, spoon will release official guidance and allow people to get theirs for free, lol. I'm impatient though. It's barely noticeable, but I hear it now and again on certain big dips.

I'm happy though so far, no more harsh ride feel. I'm back on my 20s now and still rides great compared to the prokits I was on.
