Spoon Calipers Installed *PICS*

Hi all,

Sorry it took this long, but couldn't find a day that it wasn't raining since I installed the calipers. Installed are the following since I last posted pics on my website:

Mugen Spoiler
Spoon 4 Pot Calipers
Endless CC-X Brake Pads
Honda Access Rain Visors
Mugen Pedals (no pics yet..sorry!)
JDM Inspire Door Sills

Check it out at http://www.inspires.ca

Thanks

BlueXTC,

I am using the following setup for suspension:

Apexi WS Coilovers
19 x 8 +45 Advan AVS Model 5 Bronze Wheels
235/35/19 Toyo T1-S Tires

Yes there was minor rubbing, it wasn't the black tab in the back of the fender, it was the fender it self. I didn't bother rolling the fenders just had a part of them cut and sealed.

an inspire says 32V on the bak, isn't the TL only 24V? does that mean its engine is bigger than ours?

Wilz,

The Honda Inspire utilizes the exact same engine as the TLs. I believe the 32V stands for 3.2 VTEC.

Wilz,

I believe you can utilize the stock pads, however I am currently running Endless NA-M pads, just waiting for the CC-X to come in stock.

Bitium,

The calipers are marked for the AP1, which is the code for S2000. I believe minor modification to the mounting bracket is required. I bought the calipers, where I bought everything else, A & J Racing in Vancouver (604) 279-0329 or http://www.aj-racing.com.

If you call them you can ask for Ben, he's the owner of the shop and the owner of the black TL-P in my webpage.

I just broke the pads in yesterday night, and definately you feel a big difference in short/quick distance braking. Daily driving is about the same, but short distance stopping there is a BIG difference. You get a softer pedal feel, maybe it's because I'm using Endless DOT5 brake fluid.

The Spoon Calipers are 4 POT, I don't exactly know what modifications are need to install the bracket but I know it's minor.

Hi Kobe98,

No, my car (WDP TLS) is using Apexi WS Coilovers, where as the black TL-P has only H&R Springs.

My car is a little lower, about 1/2 inch, but neither of us have problems scraping the front lip. On a few occasions I did scrap my lower arm bar.
