A Sad Blue Day

Well not exactly

Hopefully I will be able to get these installed early next week as brakes is one of the only things I don't feel comfortable tackling yet.

My new brake setup will be Spoon Calipers, Hawk HPS Pads All Around, Racing Brake 2pc Front Rotros, Racing Brake Rear Rotors, and Racing Brake Stainless Steel Brake Lines.

Spoon 4-pot calipers are designed for new generations Hondas such as CL9, DC5, EP3, but keep in mind you can't use your stock brake pads with these calipers,you have to use AP1 pads. Damn nedd to pick me a set

I've had by Spoon Calipers for a year and their great. Nice and firm bite and looks stunning. I have the Calipers, the Spoon brake lines, and the Spoon pads front and back. The only problem with my setup is the brake dust.

CCColtsicehockey, You didn't purchase Spoon Brake lines or pads??? I strongly advise you to purchase Spoon lines.

You going to have a fun time installing those Calipers with those Japanese instructions. LOL!!! I also forgot to tell you that I hope you got the correct calipers which is for the CL7. If you didn't your going to have a problem brakings.

yes there are many jdm companies but none make stock replacement 2pc rotors though. I like the look and the function of the 2pc rotors for the front and they are the only ones that have them. Plus the black centers look really good when you pull a wheel at shows.

They are the correct version for the CL7. No I went with all racing brake for the rest of the parts. Got a really good deal on the brake lines since I was buying the rotors all around so I just got them even though down the road I might switch to spoon ones.
