You can contact Opak Racing or GT Motoring for pricing. For used ones, prices vary a lot depending on condition.

Re: Installing spoon calipers
Install is pretty straight forward. there's a certain way the washer is supposed to be though depending what year brakes you have, but your instruction manual will tell you that in the pictures.
also, use a tq wrench on the mounting bolts as they're made of aluminum i believe.
other than that, i find that bleeding the inside first, then outside for each caliper gets more air out for some reason.
pads are your typical ITR pad. but you'll have to shave the back to be flat.
good luck!

Re: Installing spoon calipers
I bought a set of Spoon twin blocks used and I am about to install them on my 2000 ITR. I didn't receive the bolts or washers with them, or any other parts, just the calipers themselves. Which bolts and washers do I have to purchase to do the install properly? Also, are there any other parts included wth the calipers new that I am missing?

Re: Installing spoon calipers
The bolts that come with the Spoon calipers are *longer* than OEM. I'm not sure by how much, but if Spoon bothered to provide the longer bolts, then I think they are necessary.
