Damn tempting... These or spooooooon's? Posted via RS Mobile | Haha..I had the exact same debate last year when I decided to upgrade my brakes!
Here's the thing..For bling factor, Spoon definitely wins..It's Spoon! The name, the colour, the fame...And they work well, no argument there...BUT! They only run stock-sized brake pads, and to me, that's not enough..I wanted to run bigger rotors, and the Spoons just won't cut it with the stock-sized pads..
With these Wilwoods, they run much larger brake pads compared to stock brake pads, resulting in larger rotor surface being used as well...And these calipers are humongous when you compare them side by side with Spoon calipers! They are also very light, weighing at 4.4lbs each...Hence the name Superlite ;) Brake pads are relatively cheap, and you can even get a complete rebuild kit for these calipers if you ever want to do so..
Anyways, paired with the 323mm (12.72") rotors, this setup grabs really well, and I had never experienced brake fade when I ran these...Heck, I don't think I ever got them to heat up at all! lol...But yes, braking feels much more solid, thanks to non-floating calipers, the four pots, and the larger grabbing surface..Going from 200km/h to a complete stop is a breeze, with no vibrations or whatsoever! :thumbsup:
Just my personal opinion though :) Thanks for the bumps guys! |
