I'm a big fan of the Spoon calipers based solely upon the weight savings over stock (something less prevalent in most other brake upgrades). Plus the use of OEM pads and rotors simplifies the process of finding replacement parts.

goto fastbrakes.com. if you want a bolt on front setup for your 4 lug buy the wilwood 12.2" big brake kit, comes with 4 piston calipers. they sell front and rear kits.

I would say wilwood for quality and price you cant beat it, spoon calipers are great but thats asking the thieves to take your car.

There is nothing wrong with wilwood or stop-tech. But brembo is good to. But like stated above Spoon is asking for thieves. But then again so is an integra so we already know that you live on the edge.

I'm am going to recommend Spoon, just because they look sexy, lightweight. The price is a little steep(http://www.inlinefour.com/spoon4potalc.html

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Inlinefour.com &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The ultimate in brake upgrades...the Spoon Sports 4 Pot Aluminum Calipers are here!! Designed with the true racing enthusiast in mind, these calipers are the best without a doubt. Ultra-lightweight, these calipers weigh in at 2.4kg. These calipers will only fit Type-R or Prelude sized rotors. Sold as a front pair.</TD></TR></TABLE>) $1,408.

Hold On a second. Unless you are having ITR knuckles, the Spoon Caliper is not gonna fit on non type R integras.

IMHO spoon caliper is only nice when u wanna use your existing 15 or 16 inch wheels. For that much money u can get stoptech or brembo kits which comes with OS discs. SPoon only comes in caliper. both stoptech and brembo are superior than spoon in terms of heat capacity.

I would like to know where you guys come up with this info....

"spoon sucks get brembo" and "spoon kicks mad *** yo"

Shouldnt you be basing your opinion on fact and statistics instead of which name you guys think sounds better?!

are yuo planning on keeping 15 inch wheels? are you going 5 lug? theres alot of questions that would need to be answered. yes you can use spoon calipers with a 4 lug as it is done on a car in this forum. What is your budget? What is your goal for this car? is it going to be a show car? drag or road race? spoon has good products but so does brembo and wilwood and baer. Just depends on the setup you want.
