I am currently running a legend dual piston caliper swap with 11.1 inch HD rotors on my heavily tracked DC2 GSR.

I am interested in the Spoon Sports twin block calipers but I'm not 100% sure they will fit my car. Has anyone run this caliper with this rotor combination? Will the Spoon calipers fit over my 15 x 6.5 inch Rota Slipstreams without spacers?

Could there be that much of a difference between the 2 units? (Legend dual piston caliper vs the Spoons)

*I have searched with not much luck, so please help if you know.

they will work, however you will need to do some machining on the bracket like on the legend calipers. What you can do to avoid machining the caliper bracket is get a 2 piece rotor (fastbrakes has a 2 piece rotor so you don't have to machine the expensive spoon calipers.)

 

ok, so they will work on 15'' wheels. Stock blades too?

The machining of the caliper is necessary to fit the thicker rotor?

Is there any need for a larger MC with this setup? (Master Cylinder)

Thanks

 

spoon calipers do not clear 15in rotas w/o a spacer. ask me how i know. as far as your stock gsr wheels i dont know. they clear itr wheels.

 

what spacer do you use? I just ordered a used set of the calipers. Anyone have any info on rebuild kits for these units?

 

Your forgetting the real issue:

Rotor throat clearence.
The Legend rotors are 28mm, the ITR rotors, which the spoon calipers are designed for, are 23mm. As the Legend GS rotors cannot fit in the stock ITR caliper or bracket, I bet the Legend calipers aren't gonna fit in the spoon caliper's throat either. If you are good at machining, you can open the caliper up and make some plates to expand the caliper 5mm in the middle, but you'll need rings, extended bolts, and a longer one of those middle pieces that goes in the center.
So...you'll need to be VERY good at machining. In conclusion, no.
