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 !
My opinion is if u do proper ducting, you'd likely solve most of the issues u are facing. I do ducting to channel to both rotor centre and pad/caliper area.

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

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.

That's just my assumption. Please don't take it as fact.

Thanks Andrew, that sounds good as I have no experience with the Spoon caliper.
