Spoon brakes (no not the calipers but the drums)

[Solscud007]

I have a question on the Spoon Endurance Fit.

here is an article from temple of vtec
Spoon Racing Fit

Spoon says that with new drums with cooling fins that is more than enough for this endurance fit that can hang with stock NSXs as this article below says
Spoon Honda Fit - Featured Cars - Honda Tuning Magazine


so my question is: Where do I get these drums and who makes them?

one answer: japan! =] Not necessary tho for the states cuz it'll be way expensive 2 buy drums again. Just wait till skunk2 comes out with a rear disc conversion n do that.

I dont think a drum is as expensive as teh skunk 2 kit. skunk 2 wants 650. I think a pair of drums is a teeny bit cheaper.

I was looking at the setup spoon used, and to change over to the insight brakes would be over $500. So $500 for drums or $650 for disc? Then what happens when you have to rebuild the drum cause it wore out? that costs 150+ its a PITA to maintenance drums. Id rather spend $150 and have a easy replacement.

i'm with chris there. I'd prefer easy replacement of discs and pads rather then drums and pads.

Plus isn't discs like a balla status hahaha, not everyone will have them

ok if the drums cost that much then yeah of course rear discs makes more sense. I thought that the drums wuld be int he 100-200 range at most.
