How many pistons? Fixed or sliding? What is the weight of each? What brake pads will fit or what won't fit in each?

What has the higher theft attraction?

One of the ITR Stunnas probably does. I think Mike at IPS does actually.

I'd go w/ the Spoon just because you can use stock ITR-sized pads in those calipers as opposed to the Endless which may or may not be limited to only Endless pads... either way you're dropping an assload of money on a very nice pair of calipers.

Waste of money in my opinion. There are plenty of brake calipers that work just as good or better.

what are you gonna be using the car for? will such braking power be needed? if not you can do good with good pads, blanks, and good fluid.

totally endless.
did you see that pic? you get three calipers for the price of one!
j/k either caliper is a good choice, the spoon caliper is made by nissin and will accomodate the factory brake pad. endless is good also, if you go with the endless you'll be one less kid running spoon (which is getting harder and harder to find).

What is wrong with the stock ITR caliper? With a nice set of pads, it will haul any civic to a stop with ease. I have tracked a few ITRs with Endless pads and never once did i experience fade or anything. Spoon calipers has been discussed many times over in the ITR forum. Most have concluded that by upgrading to the spoon calipers, it doesn't really increase braking force but rather, yields more even pad wear. With the price tag that goes along with spoon calipers, i, personally, will opt for uneven wear and replace pads more often.

Or course, if you are going for the "bling bling" factor, i will go with the spoon cause i like spoon better!

True, the willwoods work just a well, are as light as a feather, and can run a million different pads.

The bling factor on the Endless calipers is quite nice though
