Spoon is much lighter, which will benefit handling, also spoon uses the stock brake pads, so cheaper replacing when worn out.

i'd go with spoon! Brembo is good, but in my opinion, overkill.

oh i guess he is just trying to get opinions on Brembo and Spoon, sorry about that.

Both are good options i'm sure, it is probably pretty hard to go wrong with eithe?r, Spoon will be a lighter setup i'm sure.

do you really need a spacer with that offset? on maxrev's site he says (he has the exact same wheel setup) that those wheels clear a 6 pot wilwood system.

both will be a great street/track setup.

the brembo kit would be nice for the track. the rotor and the caliper are bigger, so they can hold and disipate more heat. you also have a greater surface area to help stop the car. this is a very expensive setup and a bit on the extreme side.

if you want just a good brake setup for aggressive street driving, autoX, and even tracking you can use the spoons. they are very good calipers and with a good set of pads your car will have amazing braking power. tires are also one of the most important factors in slowing down your car.

what are you looking for if you just want bling, you can go with anything aftermarket. the jdm ones look really cool with their unique colors. the brembo name is also a bling factor. the american brands look good and are cheaper than the brembos. your choice.

obviously this is a big investment. do some research and buy what YOU think is best. there are a few threads about the spoon calipers i believe. so do a search.

also, the answer to the clearance question can also be answered with a search. I do not know the answer myself, but i do know that the answer is out there. if you cannot find it on s2ki, find the size of the calipers and do some math.

Spoon is lighter?? I don't remember where I read it... but I were told the 4-pot spoon and the brembo are similar in weight.... just the caliper weight though, I'm not sure about the rotors.

Also, another thing to put into consideration is, Spoon can use the factory ABS, while Brembo doesn't support the ABS

if your looking for performance do not get spoon. they are pretty much just for JDM bling what i been told by spoon brake owners.
