oh man!!! soooooo sexy!!!!

just picked these up about an hour ago. the owner of spoon carried them on the plane from japan with him so i wouldnt have to wait for them to be shipped. these calipers are beautiful. the pictures dont do them justice.


now i have to find some rotors.

I think theyll look great with the all black. Something needs to pop out somewhere.
Blue lugs maybe also?

Nice calipers. My Spork calipers are better though.

stock 15in wheels wont work. they need a 3mm spacer behind the rotor to line up correctly and i am going to be cutting it close with my volks but they wont expand under heat so its all good.

im super jealous. not only do you have spoon calipers. but you got the owner of spoon to bring them over in person. fast brakes has an 11in slotted rotor upgrade to be used specificly with integra type r or spoon calipers. i think they cost 400 bucks or some where in that range.

The owner of Sporks N Stuffs brought them to me on his trip to Orlando.
Theyre awesome. They stop on a noodle.

Yes theyre Japanesian. Did yours come with the bracket kit? Mine did.

no drilling of rotors. as long as they are 282mm rotors with a 3mm spacer behind the rotor they will fit. at least that is what ben and edmun(of opak racing) told me.
