Add some steal braided brake lines while your at it to get the full braking feel with no fade.

Those looks sexy. They'll match your lugs great and I'm sure they'll provide some nice braking force with the dual pistons. Where are they from?

Para do the steel lines really make a big difference? Would they be worth it for daily driving? I do have dimpled and slotted sport rotors with hawk pads. I've heard good things about steel lines, but I'm not entirely convinced.

It goes a long way to brake feel. Being you up north where ther reall isn't extreme heat like with me, when its in upper 90s from may to sept my brakes tend to fade. What happens is rubber lines will expand in heat reducing braking effectiveness and stregth. the feel ehancement would prob be your only plus.. btw see my sig? dont be scared to use my name...lol.;

Thanks Desmond, I guess it would make more sense if I lived a generally hotter climate. I don't really experience brake fade even when it's hotter out during the summer. I took my baby through the windy mountain roads on steep inclines in BC last summer and she was fantastic with the new brake setup.

Awesome... I'm glad you are enjoying the new brakes. I'm at least going to do the HFP brake pads for the automatic and steel braided brake lines as the brakes seem to get very "mushy" in 90 degree heat and above.

Those are Smoking Hot !
What's the application for these calipers ? Are these for an NSX ? I can't find a Spoon listing for the 2nd gen TL. Which rotors will you be running ?

Did not have to reverse mount, but did have to cut dust shields, shave brake pads down a bit, trim back of pads, and remove some brackets from spoon.
