I'm waiting for my clibers to come in, but I've been reading that they are more of a bling thang, than performance. I'd like to know what all Spoon caliber owners think...

 

If i could do it over again... I'd probably just get better pads and fluid... But if you track all the time, then I think it is worth it.

Sp00n makes guns now?????!

Rguy, who has heard the calipers just help with feel and modulation, but would like to know more.

 

Fixed the title.

Spoon calipers are lighter than stock, brake pads are removable without removing the caliper, more even pad wear and better pedal feel.

 

Ya I was talking about guns

Thanks

 

I wish they were annodized black and didn't have "spoon" in huge raised letters.

Bling sucks, but lightweight, four-piston calipers that fit under stock rims sound pretty damn cool no matter what they look like.

 

BBQ paint and a die grinder fixes that really quick

 

i think if you love your car and are into "fixing" it up to reflect you as the driver, i think there's room for both bling and performance if it makes you happy...however, both are always clouded in opinion, so go with what is best for you in the end.

i'd love the calipers too one day

 

I had been going to track events in completely stock form for 2 years before upgrading to R tires and brakes.

Unsprung weight and brake modulation is what I was looking for, and the Spoon did a great job in those categories.

 

I'm running DS3000 pads now and the braking is much better, waiting to get my SS lines and fluid in should make it much better.

******' A.

 

Yes it is a bling thing which works and made your ABS to work with.

 

Just got mine today, thanks guys.

 

Performance is there but I wouldn't exactly say "bang for the buck"

 

Even though I think the Spoons are sexy as ****, and would love to get a pair for my car... I fear most of the people (actually, probably myself included) have them for...

You my friend, have to much free time on your hands

 

I ordered a gold plated one for my CRX years ago from an ad in Panorama (sp).
Probable put it on the rear plate holder or something when the beast is done.

 

I only see $3805. Where's the other one?

 

count it again

 

ditto, but only after reading how much was in there

 

If you want to know how the spoons perform with all street testing ask itrsport.com. He has had them on his Type Reliable for a good while now!
