Default spoon brakes

hello!

I have few questions regarding spoon brake system.

1. can I install spoon caliper on OEM rotor?

2. if I can, does that make braking better? or is it just cosmetic?

thanks in advance.

I won't think the SPOON caliper will stick with stock rotor unless you replace the bigger size of the rotor

Hi

1 - Yes, you can. I have that setup for a while. Actually i have Project MU SCR-PRO rotors with spoon calipers and Pmu pads.

2 - Yes, it will help braking, not in terms only of shorting distance, but for track use they are a lot better than OEM in every aspect, lighter from this last to. But to keep the OEM wheels, you have to put spacers.

Please show me the scientific measurements that prove the shorter stopping distance claim. Hell, make them unscientific even, but show me proof.

I believe it is 15 to 20mm spacer
