Spoon Caliper Twin Block Setup
I need help guys on my Spoon Caliper setup. Here's what I have
1. Spoon Caliper Twin Block
2. GSR DC2 Front and Rear Disc Brakes
3. 15" SW388 4x100
4. car is a 96 honda civic CX hatch
My question is, will the caliper fit directly to the dc2 front brakes? If not, what do I need to buy in order to fit it WITHOUT modifying something especially the calipers. I don't wanna start shaving a bnew 1500++ caliper and it should clear a 15" sw388 rims. I was told that I need to buy the $650 11" FastBrake rotor but I was wondering if there are other rotors I could buy as an alternative to it without modifying the caliper. I just wanna do some research first before I buy the rotors. I would appreciate inputs of those who already did the same setup.
***Please don't reply on this thread saying that I shouldn't have gotten the Spoon Calipers and they are overrated and all that stuff. That's what I want and no one can change my mind. Period. Please stay on topic as always.

Here, I did the research for you on Google...
You need 92-96 Prelude VTEC 282mm rotors redrilled to 4x100 and 3mm spacers between hub and rotor.

You'll need spacer to run the SW388 according to this thread...

I ran accross a thread in the DC2 Brake section less than a week ago where someone is using the stock rotor from the base Mini Cooper...needs absolutely NO modification apparently. They're also lighter and cheaper then the re-drilled prelude rotor.
I currently use the corrado rotor as noted above, there was no need for spacers..but the fit wasn't exact so I'm running w/the Mini cooper solution next time around.
