can u hve a review on those ?
worth it ? can u feel a lot different or just slightly ?

 

yes, inquiring minds would like to know ...

 

I think Josh AKA ITRSport wrote one up.

 

They are great. Really worth it IMO compare to other high quality race-proven units out there like Brembos and APs.

Honestly, the ultimate braking is not improved by too much. But the modulation and linear braking force are really what stand out the most.

I guess the difference is like a 6spd tranny vs a 4spd - top speed might be the same, but the rev range for the 6spd is smoother and respond to throttle better. Hope this example makes sense.

 

um...arg hard to understand

 

That, more even pad wear and a few pounds less weight ...

 

i'm struggling with spoon caliper and turbo, before i was gonna get turbo first and then get spoon caliper but now since mike is offer spoon caliper for only 1090 (man that's cheap) and i think i'll never see this kinda price again so.man too many things to buy so less money i have..............

mike: it isnt a good time to have a discount on spoon caliper isnt it

 

Buy the Calipers

 

 

Lightweight is a big selling point. They weigh about half of the stockers. And the biggest advantage of any multipiston caliper: brake modulation!

 

Do the brakes first, then go fast parts.

...and money left over to do the rear end and fluid... Even though not shown, I believe he has both big and "under OE wheel" kits for the ITR...

Zeus- who is anti-smurf, if not for the color... then what you going to do when you need to rebuild them?

I honestly do like their modulation (sit down Wai) even if I dislike the color and cost and JDM bling ghey factor.

Don't expect to stop shorter with the same pads, tires, etc. you wont.

 

You HAD to say that, didn't you!?!?!

 

That is an awesome comparison of modulation. I should write this down for future reference, is it copyrighted

 

I gotta give it to Wai on the example... as do I Dave...

Get the turbo.

The turbo will make a difference you can feel everyday, even in street driving.

The brakes won't.

 

lol

My impression of them it made quite a big difference during high speed. Very low chances of overheating the rotors cuz the alumiunum calipers gave off heat so well.

 

So for street driving (i.e. not driving like an idiot and racing on public highways), they would serve the same purpose as stock calipers, right?

EDIT: A person that is considering adding a turbo to their ITR is not the same kind of person who does track events, so people must not forget that when giving their opinion.

Wow Reid.. you're in a good mood today.

 

I guess there is a distinct difference in the tone of my posts when I post from home.

 

Awww, **** off! LOL!

Now ... about the above turbo wisecrack.
hehehehehe

.....at that price, GET THEM!

I kept warping rotors, so that's why I got mine.
