#1...its "BRAKES" not breaks...You dun want your brakes to break.

Your stock brakes calipers, if you have an R, are very good from the factory. They're one of the last things that should be upgraded, imHo. You should, however, upgrade the pads. But, oem is good enough.

Do you track your car? If not, the rotors are a waste of money...they're a waste of money if you DO track your car, but we will not get into that bag of worms...yet... If you dun track your car, why do you want the Spoom calipers? I can understand that they may increase efficiency of the brake pads, but how much would be minimal compared to Factory, on the street.

So, to answer your question, get the seats. I love my Recaros...so comfy...

I was also going to flame you for all the misspelled words, but then I saw you are from Cananda.

I'd buy neither and get in some track time.

Bingo!

But if you aren't into tracking and just need to spend some money you'd more likely feel and appreciate the seats a whole lot more.

The JDM Recaros will not stop your car even close to as well as the Spoon calipers will - not even if someone threw the seats in front of your car.

If you track you caR the Spooms are awesome. If it's a street car the Spooms are pretty much pointless.
