Any interest in a Spoon style bolt on caliper?
These calipers have dust seals and easily obtained rebuilding parts(unlike the Spoons).
I'm ordering a caliper Monday to see what needs to be done to make it a direct fit.
I don't know what they will sell for, but if I can make them it will be way less than the $1400 that the Spoons cost.

If you can do it in such a way that there is a free space between the caliper and the hub for ducting air then you might have something I'd be interested in. The dogbone adapters and similar methods of mounting prevent there being an open path (as with the stock caliper bracket). If you've seen how RTR mounts their Brembo calipers on little cube standoffs you know one solution.

Let's just say they are made in Europe and everyone knows the name.
I plan on making them bolt directly to the spindle just like stock. There should be enough room for ducting to get air between the caliper and the spindle for better cooling.

You might want to check the RSX-R calipers since according a Japanese Integra mag they are supposed to mount directly to '98 spec spindles.

Re: Any interest in a Spoon style bolt on caliper? (drealgsr)
I looked at the RSX when it came out and it looks like the calipers are the same general design as the rest of the Honda line. The caliper bolt spacing is the same so they will bolt on that way. I have not been able to find the specs on the rotors yet. As soon as I can confirm the specs I'll let you all know. The stock calipers will not fit under 15" wheels as the rotors are 11.8", but that means I might be able to use the rotors for a 4 piston conversion with the stock wheels
