I decided to go with spoon since i have too many parts need to be gone plus the two sets of rims that could clear spoon but not stoptech
sw388 is too hot for me not to use it.
so i ordered the spoon caliper and will be running with two piece rotor
let's see how it goes
and also will have to customize the brake ducting more efficient way. thinking of running two 
front and one rear
Thanks guys !

I believe the stock single piston sliding caliper retains a lot more heat than a larger monoblock 4 piston caliper correct? Not only due to the size and material but the way the fluid is distributed around the caliper? And don't the 1 piston calipers generate more heat on the inner face of the rotor due to where the piston is positioned?
I would definitely think the type, size, and construction of the rotor would be the main factor and first problem to solve though. With a better caliper playing a smaller role overall in terms of heat dissipation, and a larger one when it comes to maintaining feel as the temps rise.

What's the theory of greater performance from the Spoon calipers?
