No one is hating on the spoonies, just trying get FACTS out.

If you were REALLY racing your car (not 20min sessions every hour at a track day.) You would cook the stock calipers, but you would cook the spoonies TOO. They aren't going to dissipate THAT much more heat, the ROTORS will do that. And in a stock for stock swap out, the rotors would be IDENTICAL.

You went from a pure OEM setup to aftermarket, pads, rotors, fluid AND calipers all at once. You seem to place more emphasis on the calipers as the component that made the difference, and I am here to tell you that the pads and the fluid are what made the most difference, with the rotors making a significant contribution and the calipers adding almost nothing to the mix.


The spoonies are great, they are mad tite JDM y0! but they do not make you stop any shorter than the stock calipers.

The one statement is true. The other is merely conjecture

See, that's what I'm talking about.

That's incorrect information.
They dont stop better, they are worse. You shouldnt buy them.

There, one less person with the same brakes as me.
