good point! offer him les

 

Only reason I didn't go Stoptech was because they were on a 45 day backorder.

 

I'm going to wait for the new Type R to be released and wish really really hard that the brembos on it will work with the S2000.

 

That's the very reason my buddy ended up with Racing Brake.

 

If that's the case, why sit their and wait? Just get the spoon kit. It uses the same size pad as the OEM s2000/RSX/Civic SI/DC5 ITR Brembo pad size.

 

One of the biggest benefits of a brake kit is longer life out of consumables. OEM sized brake pads do not last long at all if you track the car. Pads for my kit are cheaper than OEM and last three-four times as long.

 

The benefits of the spoon are that they maintain OEM bias and OEM rotors.

Since they are a multi piston monoblock design they reduce temperature in the pad and rotor which is the key to longer brake pad life.

They also clear more wheels.

The biggest bbk or the cheapest bbk in the world won't do diddly squat if it throws the brake balance off

These do not correlate.

 

Ever notice on slider piston type design the pad wear is extremely uneven compared to multi piston design?

The more Pistons you add the theory is that the more brake force is evenly distributed through the pad reducing pad flex, which reduces hot spots, which reduces pad & caliper temperatures

Being that the caliper material is now aluminum vs steel reduces caliper weight and you now have a more efficient heat sink remove heat from the braking system.

Still don't follow? Open up your computer and you will find a copper or aluminum heat sink on top of your gpu or cpu. While copper is better than aluminum, copper is too soft of a metal to survive the duties of a caliper.

Having a hot spot and "reducing temperature" are not the same. The same amount of heat has to be converted if the same amount of work is being done, but one spreads the load more evenly. The brakes themselves are not going to be cooler, you'll just have less of the pad doing the work if it starts to taco.

Less heat (or the ability to cope with heat) comes from mass and external cooling (ducts, vaned rotors, aluminum hats, etc).

The caliper is not used as a heat sink; the idea is to keep heat out of the caliper. This is also why you'll find race oriented calipers NOT using aluminum pistons. (I didn't have stock brakes for more than a couple months, but I thought the stock calipers were aluminum).


I follow brakes just fine. The number of pistons you have does not correlate to whether or not the brakes will run hotter or cooler.
