Seriously. It's hard to justify that kind of money

 

Agree. Drop the kit to $700 or so (it *is* coming from Japan, after all), and I'm all in.

So I actually went ahead and emailed GoTuning and inquired about the components of the disk swap and why it is so expensive. The following is their response:

"Here is the breakdown of parts required and the prices for each piece

Caliper Assy., Right Rear $240.00 1
Caliper Assy., Left Rear $240.00 1
Bolt, Flange, 10x30, Caliper Bracket (4 req) $2.00 4
Bracket, Rear Caliper (2 req) $50.00 2
Pad Set, Rear $100.00 1
Disc, Rear Brake (2 req) $100.00 2
Bolt, Rotor Screw (4 req) $1.00 4
Guard, R. Rear Brake Splash $25.00 1
Guard, L. Rear Brake Splash $25.00 1
Bolt, Flange 6x12, Splash Guard Screw (6 req) $1.00 6
Parking Brake Cable, R. $50.00 1
Parking Brake Cable. L $50.00 1
"

 

Thank you for sharing this information. We're merely offering these items as a full kit for parts only available in Japan. The kit consists only of Honda Genuine OEM parts, no Spoon specific parts are required for the conversion. We're actually selling them at a discounted price. Just for comparison, a rear disc brake caliper for a 2015 Honda Civic is $256.23 each and the rear disc rotor is $103.44. If you were to purchase all the pieces of the rear brake assembly for a Civic, it would be much more than the $1000 we're offering the Fit conversion kit for. Keep in mind our price also includes shipping from Japan, duties, customs, and other fees required to import goods from overseas.

 

Thanks for clarifying - that actually makes sense. Having just installed rear shims, I was reminded how much I dislike working on drum brakes.

The 2-3 month delay in shipping is a bummer, though.

Thread bump

Will the Cusco front strut tower bar fit on LHD models?

Also, will the Cusco rear strut tower brace with quick release fit? This one i believe should work without any issues.

Just wanted to confirm before i go on another parts ordering binge

 

Hi @spoonsportsusa are you guys still offering the rear disc conversion?
