Default Upgraded Brakes! *Discuss* (spoon/wilwood/project nu/etc!)

Hey guys, i am in the market for purchasing my brake kit. I am most definetly going to run a SPOON SETUP.. (calipers/lines) for now.. and maybe in the future upgrade to the calipers as well.

I just wanted to get people's opnions on their brake kits running on their ap2. Any1 running spoon? How you like them?

Discuss (even if you are running any other brake kit, give your reviews here!) ...



(i need 15mm spacers to clear my MF10's =[) ... i prolly have to roll my fenders as well becuase i am riding VERY low.

neither ...

go stop-tech ... cheap and proven on the track

on the other note, your option is minimal with the MF10's ...

if you KNOW you have minimal options, then why do you have to ask "ALL KITS" ... obviously, only small caliper fits, right? ...

P nut, of course this will be used MUCH more as street driving, as oposed to track. I dont have much time for track right now becuase of school/work but yes, eventually will be used on the track.

Jerk knows his ****. He's tryin to help you, in his own sick twisted ways.

It's already been stated, per "Luder94", that you would need a 15mm spacer to clear the Spoon brakes with your MF-10s. Lines are trivial. Good luck. Take pictures.

Stock ones work fine for me, just upgrade fluid, lines, and track-only slotted rotor/Hawk HPS pads. OEM pad/rotors for the streets.

Think twice before you decide to change calipers. You will limit your options in tires/wheels since you have to take into consideration spoke clearance and offset for the calipers. Whenever you limit yourself on a mod, you might be happy in the beginning but soon you will realize your short-comings. Keep in mind that running any spacer over 4mm will require extended wheel studs.
