Default Spoon monoblock caliper fitment

<U>GOT THEM TO WORK, MUAHAHAHA</U>
Thanks for the help and ideas everyone
Sorry for the shitty pictures, late and dark out.





<U>Previous Post</U>
Anyone here have experience with the MONOBLOCK calipers? Not to be confused with the twinblock design. I'm having trouble getting the fitment correct and wondering if anyone has installed the monoblocks on a dc2 before.

What made you think they would fit?
They were meant for an S2K.

Are you trying to use stock ITR rotors or S2K rotors?

Spoon offers a monoblock kit for the DC2

OP: "mooman" has done the conversion before.

Cuz I'm sexy like that, you need a special rotor that was designed for the dc2 application. Has a deeper top hat giving it a different offset.
45251-5h11416 is the part number if you care to search, k thx

By that picture, your caliper is on upsidedown. The bleeder valve needs to be facing up.

What side of the bracket did you put the washers on?

FYI, S2000 rotors cannot be used on this application because they won't fit on the ITR's wide hub.
Also FYI, they can be used if they are redrilled and centering rings are used and washers are used for 4x100 applications of this setup.

That is correct. I tried placing stock S2K rotors on my ITR hub before and the hub was too wide for it. I had to use Spoon's 300mm large rotors (shown in pic above), which is the same size as S2K rotors.

I picked up a set of RSX Type S Rotors from autozone today and they are the exact same size, width, diameter, and height as the spoon rotors moofx.

Nope, went to 4 places, noone had the tsx or s2000 rotors. Was going to try them all. I'll get it working this weekend and order 45251-5h11416 rotors to try out to see if these eliminate the need for washers

Bleeder valves should be facing upwards. You should flip the valves around if you get the chance to.

Yeah, not sure if you saw my previous post. I flipped it around trying to be creative to see if I can fix the spacing issue. I originally had them facing up

Used a grade6 steel washer, moofx said he ran a washer as well to correct the offset of the caliper. The spoon rotors ended up being the exact same as RSX type S rotors, I went around and picked up a bunch of rotors to try different fitments. I think the stores were pissed off when I took them all back lol.
