Does anyone know if the Spoon calipers will clear 16x7 inch Volk TE-37's with a 42mm offset? Or do I need spacers? Unfortunately I don't think they will be on in time for the ITR Expo.

The Setup:
Volk TE-37's + Spoon 4-Pot Calipers + Brembo Rotors =

Sorry dude, have not tried volks. If you want, we can throw one of your rims on my car at expo and see if they clear or not

Thanks for the offer. Wai said I could use his car to test the fitment too.

 

where did you get them at an how much

They were very helpful people - I spoke with Mike.
I paid $1,300 shipped for the front set of calipers. Most other web sites sell the same kit for $1,700 all the way up to $2,500.

 

also what pads are you going with

 

Josh, Nice speaking with you today

 

Some of you guys might get a chuckle out of the fact that I'm going with the stock pads for now. I may change them out for something more aggressive in the future. I would first like to get a feel for the braking improvement with just the calipers before I try new pads and maybe steel brake lines.

 

LOL...for some reason, that icon is perfect in this situation.

 

Actually, I'm chuckling at the fact that you just spent $1,300 on new calipers when you said in your Brembo thread that you rarely drive at autocrosses or other performance events... To each their own, I guess.

 

i kinda like that idea .i mostly put six mods on at a time and don't get a feel for just one mod

 

Good point.

 

very coool, i hope to upgrade soon, good combo josh

 

What's this, you want to put spoon calipers on your car? I think that it would be pretty cool, but you better be using those things at autox this summer.

 

nice mod...hehehe Josh I think you're having too much fun with your car...

well gimme a call when its installed, so I will take a look at it!

 

gimme a call too
