Im looking into a brake upgrade for my DC5. I want something where I dont have to switch to a 17" or larger wheel, as I dont wanna lose the use of my OEM wheels. So, Ive decided on Spoon calipers, with a good set of rotors and pads, and stainless lines around. Heres my question... are the Spoon calipers bolt-on with a certain bracket (ie S2k or otherwise), or is it more trouble than its worth? Thanks in advance.

 

i have done calculation on going to spoon route vs big brake kit (brembo)

spoon comes out at the end close to the big brake kit
when you add:
Calipers
Rotors
Pads
SS Lines

 

Do you mean more expensive? Not really, I can do the whole setup front and rear for less than a Brembo kit for just the front. Also, I wont have any 16" wheel problems, except *maybe* having to use a spacer, depending on which wheels I go with.

 

comes down to same price if you buy spoon rotors/ss lines/pads!

i got brembo with oz superleggra..and i need to use spacer

 

I dont see a reason to buy Spoons rotors or pads, as they are better pads out there for less money. Ive also heard of more than one instance where Spoon rotors have cracked, on numerous S2000s.
