The brakes work great but the pads are not completely secured so when the car travels over bumps you can hear them move around. I know there are only a few of you out there, but who has the Spoon calipers and what brake pads are you using?

I was using a replacement set of factory pads but I swapped them out for some Axxis Metal Master pads last weekend. I notice improved braking with the Metal Master pads but the rattle is still there. Does anyone have information on this issue? I would call Spoon but someone said that no one there speaks English.

 

race calipers = no pad springs or dust boots on the pistons.

you should sell them to me cheap... that will fix the rattle.

Will
-who loves to hear his pads rattle around in his BBQ'ed front calipers.

 

The rattle is not THAT bad...

mine do the same. Its normal. Cheep price to pay for good brakes.

 

Thanks - Just making sure that it's not out of the ordinary.

 

Cheap price my ***

 

Yeah, it's cheap for you because you went to Spoon while they had like a super clearance sale. Punk.

I've learned to live with the rattle...

 

stoptech caliper do this also esp when backing up and then going fwd on cold days.

yshi - who was told by stoptech that this is normal

 

Stock calipers do this also, especially when you are using Porterfield R4 on the street
