Thanks for the heads up. Also, I meant better 'braking' power, not 'breaking' power.

These are prototype Full Monoblock calipers that have never been mounted to a car outside of testing on a JDM Honda N-One.
You've probably been dreaming about Twin Block or Monoblock calipers...

Yes, you're right. I should've been more specific.
The twin block calipers part # 45020-DCR-G00 are the one's I've been dreaming about... any discount?

What's the difference on the prototype ones? Lighter, easier (less modifications) install?

The Full Monoblock Calipers have the same rigidity as the larger Monoblock calipers but they're designed to fit under much smaller wheels down to 14". They're specifically designed for the upcoming Honda S660.

We got the parts for the rear disc conversion weeks ago but just haven't gotten around to testing all the pieces. That will happen next week when the car comes back from the cage fabricator.

I appologize if I missed this somewhere in the thread, but do the Full Mono Block Calipers bolt to the OE brackets? Just wondering if these will be available to consumers and if they will be a simple bolt on affair.

Also I did a search for the CE28 Club racers and couldn't find a dealer, all I can find are the CE28N. I like those wheels, looking for 15" x 7.5", the CE28N is about a pound lighter than the TE37V, but at the same time the CE28N weighs the same as a 15 x 7 Enkie RPf1, I wish the Enkies were offered in 15 x 7.5, considering the price difference.

Enkeis are on a very different level than Volks. (And the RPF1 now comes in 15x8)

Great updates!

Full Monoblock calipers will not be available for the this car. We used them for prototyping and testing purposes. Since no one will use a 14" wheels or smaller on this car, they aren't necessary. They also require a lot of modifications to work. We've decided to go with the Twin Block Caliper as the standard kit for this Fit because they're a better option. The Twin Block Caliper is bigger and allows use of a larger rotor. These are currently available already. There is no factory bracket, the stock calipers bolt directly to the knuckle. The Spoon Twin Block Caliper will come with the appropriate mounting hardware to fit on the factory knuckle. You will also need the Spoon replacement rotor for the Twin Block Caliper which is larger than the factory rotor.

We can help you get CE28 Club Racer wheels if you're interested but the widest size is 15x7+28 or 16x7+33. We are using a custom fitment that requires fender modifications and at least 3 degrees of front camber to fit.

I understand that Volks are superior to Enkie as far as durability is concerned, that's why they cost almost 3 times as much. All I do is Autocross, and the RPF1s I have, never see city or highway streets and potholes, they are only used on smooth autocross courses. Since my wheels weigh the same as the CE28 there is no need to spend the extra money. 7.5" is the widest I can go in my class or else I'd get an 8" wheel. Speaking of class, I don't think I can use the calipers, have to double check the rule book again. I have another car that is in a more raced prepped class, and I could totally use the calipers for that car, so I will go ahead and ask if you make a rotor/caliper set up for a '91 Civic SI?

Did you install the JDM projectors yet? Could you provide us with part #s for all necessary oem items needed, please?

I do not like the light output on my PNP HID kit and would like to get projectors.

Thanks

Those are the RHD JDM projectors correct? I'm curious if those can be baked and modded to LHD.

Bump - would love to see an update on the project (and of course how the Projectors fit in)!

unless you can find exact len replacement or projector replacement of same shape there is no way to convert the headlights to LHD and still look the same as OEM.
