Spoon Calipers

ok, but if you put real value (that is correct) and spoon calipers are around 1100 pounds, import duties are like 220 pounds...so it's not soo cheap!

but is also normal because these are jap items...

Our Price is £943 shipped to Europe, plus maybe £180 customs charge, makes them £1123 to your door. Compared to Spoon Sports Europe price £1330. I think you'll find that's a considerable saving, and not expensive for what they are.

As I said, if you can find them cheaper than £943 shipped, I will see what I can do. But as far as I know, we're the cheapest on them.
 
good price, i've checked on other websites, and there are all on this range...

the problem is that i want to get an used pair...at a lowest price, do you have nothing?
 
The seizing up isn't a problem if you take care of the calipers

They are designed as a race caliper, hence why there are no pad retainer springs (pads move about a bit to aid cooling, so can hear a bit of knocking on rough roads) also no dust seals, just the standard piston seals

I've ran mine for over 10k miles now, even through winter, it's only now that i'm having to strip the calipers and clean up the pistons/seals (doing it this weekend actually)

For the money though, I would go for AP racing 4 pot kit. These kits come with lines/discs/pads and are PROPER hardcore systems, as in wider discs on 2 piece rotors etc and the calipers are very very light, lighter than spoon ones! By the time you buy spoon calipers, decent pads and decent discs you're nudging on the price of the AP kits ;)

I got my spoon calipers dirt cheap brand new luckily though. Although for instance I just bought new front discs/pads which came to pretty much £300. Got to remember, spoon calipers on their own won't really improve braking much, got to stick some good pads and decent discs on to unleash their potential

but how much is for an AP kit? and does it fit under 15"?
 
the main problem usually highlighted with the spoon calipers is the postons dont have dusts seasl like oem calipers. But majority of hugh performance calipers dont have dusts seals.

it means if your car doesnt get used frequently and sits out in the cold, moisture can get in behind the pistons and cause damage to the pistons and calipers. But if maintained properly you wotn have this problem. I covered mine in vaseline before fitting the pads, and the car is now tucked in the garage. fair enough not the warmest place in Central Scotland, but it'll certainly help.

Steven EK9 is spot on the mark. For the price of the Spoon calipers, then discs and pads on top, you can get a belter of a brake kit from likes of AP and also Wilwood.

On the ITR forum, can get a 282mm 4 pot wilwood setup for £500............thats mega cheap!!!
 
I've got some use Spoon Calipers. Paint a bit faded but all in excellent working order £650.
