I have never changed the brake pads or rotors since purchase of the car and I am noticing shaking of the steering wheel probably due to warped rotors.

Im looking to upgrade. I have been wanting spoon calipers, but after everything is said and done I may be spending more than I would like to. I have also been thinking about the fastbrakes big brake kit that sells for $630 (Complete Fastbrakes 11" front upgrade kit for the 1990-2001 Integra. Kit includes the remanufactured TypeR calipers with modified brackets, slotted/dimpled 11" rotors, performance brake pads, and front braided steel brake lines.)

Are there any better options for stopping power?

 

i don't see a reason to put a big brake kit on a car rollin on stockies... i just got a set of brembo drilled&slotted rotors and axxis pbr pads for 230 bucks i think its gonna look freakin awesome with my 15's

 

Well first and foremost what do you typically do with the car- just street driving, a little road course, dedicated track car? Also is there a dramatic increase in power on your car (like a swap, turbo/supercharger)? If not you can do just fine on stock blanks, an upgraded set of pads, maybe a set of lines and make sure the fluid is fresh. But none of this matters more than the type of tires you roll on. If you roll around on all-season tires with even the best possible setup it wont stop any better than the same car with its stock system and tires in great condition and properly inflated. The ITR setup is a good one and will fit under the 15" wheels but if you want the proper brake balance you would have to at the least up the rears to the 10.2 rear set (the ITR/RSX does the same thing from the factory) Must be for a reason. But for now great pads new rotors and tires

 

I apologize for lack of details. I am building this car with intentions of seeing time on the road course, and it isn't a daily driven car. It does have a supercharger. I am running 205/50/15 Falken Azenis RT615. As an enthusiast I am always looking for the best possible setup even if it means overkill

So with that in mind.. ive been reading up on wheel clearance for the spoon calipers (if I decided to go that route). My current wheels won't clear them without the use of spacers.. so I came across a set that does and picked them up. I really want to stay with 15" wheels because tires are relatively inexpensive and lighter wheels of course. Spoon calipers are made of aluminum making them lighter and dissipate heat quicker than steel counterparts. So I am leaning and wanting the spoons because they are so pretty.. is it justifiable to get them looking at it from a performance to dollar ratio with the other counterparts (legend, ITR, NSX, S2k?)
Thanks for your input!

 

Using the spoon calipers will require you to use a rotor in the 11.1 size (Type R integra) 4 pot calipers wont make the car stop any faster, yet they will brake and modulate with far more consistency than their single piston conterparts and you can brake with more confidence. An s2k setup is too big for 15" especially stockers but there are some 15" that will fit (My car has this combo with 15" motegi traklites) The legend and nsx setups will clear the factory 15" but at the cost of extra weight (around 4 pounds extra on the legends vs the ITR) but have a better feel and modulation (2 piston calipers with 2 different sized pistons just like the spoon)

Pricewise the TypeR setup will be cheaper all the way around than just the spoon calipers and with the left over money you can upgrade the rears. For the rears the best setup (cost:what you get) is the 10.2 ep3 setup that can be had for little coin.

Tires are still without question the most important part of the equation

 

^this is solid advice right here.

also, do you have a lot of snow in your area?

i daily drive my car with the Spoon calipers and they don't fare very well when it comes to getting splashed with slush or snow.

weight wise, the Spoons are a lot lighter than stock but it's nothing you would probably notice when driving unless you're building a dedicated track car (1 ITR caliper weighs nearly the same as both Spoon calipers). I've used the Spoon calipers on track and they work great, but this was with an aggressive pad (Project Mu Max500) and OEM rotors (with Motul RBF600 and ss lines).

i also had to upgrade my brake MC and went with the Integra RS 15/16 MC. i've got an Si hatchback that came with rear disc already and the correct prop valve.

i admit, the Spoon calipers are really pretty and bling and if you can get them for a good price, then go for them since you seem like you really want them.
