Default Wat's a cost effective big brake system: Spoon(monoblock) or Brembo(GT)? For DC5

Does anyone have any of these setups? And if you do what are your impressions of them? Can you use stock rotors and stock brake pads with the Spoon setup?

yes, you get use the stock size rotor and pad for the spoon.

spoon caliper msrp cost is $1575 + adapter kit $200 is already $1775 MSRP. and then you also need ss brake lines, better brake pads, and slotted rotors (non spoon). so the whole set up is going to be around $2275 + tax.

you can check with d2motorsports dot com to ask for pricing. they help me to get the set up (spoon calipers, adapter kit, goodridge ss line, hawk hp plus pad, power slot rotors)

good luck

Stoptech package is a great kit too that is cheaper.

Get a Wilwood kit, retail is like $610... you should be able to find it for less.
