Spoon Pistons
I'll admit I only searched about four times, so if I missed something have a blast.
I'm looking for any opinions on Spoon pistons... If anyone has any input I would be very greatful. Please describe setup if first hand experience. Thanks

Re: Spoon Pistons (yellow blur)
That you can buy them matched is special, IMHO.
However, there are very few of us that would need something like that, and Ichishima would tell you that himself.
So very many of the Spoon parts available to us are available because of Spoon's efforts to get ahead in endurance racing series where there isn't much allowed in the way of modifications. So the Spoon parts are mostly "blueprinted" items that add less in the way of power and more in the way of longevity and/or getting the most out of a given ruleset.
A case in point that gets a lot of people scratching their heads is the Spoon front brake calipers for the ITR. They use stock brake pads and stock rotors, but provide better brake pad life and a better feel because of the pistons, and they weigh less than OEM.
They are a very popular modification even though for the same $1300 price you could get a complete new front brake setup using bigger rotors and calipers, providing better heat dissipation at the same price.
I dunno.
Spoon stuff is one of those "you get it or you don't" kinds of things.
