I have Spoon calipers and Project Mu rotors (slotted) and pads. I would recommend this set up. I noticed a big difference in stopping power. Plus they both look nice..
I have had my Spoon calipers on for about 6 months and have had no problems with them. I havent tried Brembo. Take a look at the Spoon VS. Brembo thread..

Buy a real set of racing brakes that fit the stock wheels . Complete kit reduces weight both front and rear more than any Honda S-2000 brake kit . Also more racing miles on this kit .

Pinnacle Brake kit available at Rick

I recently upgraded my brakes to the Wilwood setup. I can tell you that it's been the best upgrade since I bought my car. I was shopping around for a brake setup for a long time and did a lot of research. To me the Wilwood is the best system because the brakes are phenominal and -- the best part -- they fit under the stock wheels. I couldn't believe it.
I've done 6 trackdays with those brakes and have thouroughly abused them for all they're worth. Never once had I a failure or fade or anything like that. Simply amazing.

Another bonus is that the pads are readily available and they are super cheap.

I promise not to be too much of a pain in the ass with this in the future, but I'm still a little bent out of shape after an incident last week. I would recommend anybody considering the Pinnacle setup please read this first:

Again, I'm not trying to keep food off anyone's table, this is just something to consider if you plan on using your brakes for all they're worth.
