thanks for the info. Not sure how many people run the same setup since most opt for 17" ce28n.

Do you know how similar fitmet of the endless system is in comparison to the spoon system (since you've had spoon calipers)

thanks....

Night and day fitment issues. Its very easy to find wheels that will clear the Spoon calipers. Not so with Endless and Project Mu. They are a little tougher to find wheels to clear because they are longer and wider than the Spoons.

you'll need to go with custom size and offset to fit them over Endless/Projectmu without spacers.

Spoon and willwood brakes are probably my best bet and bang for the bucks without sacraficing the time and money running into wheel fitment issues.

I used to have the spoon brakes and they were fantastic! Very satisfied with the performance on those. Much more affordable.

The offset which our s2000 obtain is simply shitty for any kind of BBK clearance.

Just my opinion.

Good luck!

Hehe...well im coming up on 80k miles so i figure its time to give the S (and myself) a present. Granted my driving ability does not require better brakes, i figure it may help me autox... oh well, doesnt look good for the bbk anyway.

Stoptechs are very inexpensive IMO compared to the "JDM" $4000+ BBK club and I guarntee they will perform just as good in certain instances as their multi thousand dollar counterparts.
