What's your guys Brake Set-up?
I purchased some Spoon Calipers from Mike. Couldn't past the deal he had going on! I'm wondering, if I replace the front with Spoon Calipers, Spoon Rotors, and Endless brake Pads. What's going to happen to the rear OEM brakes? Is the front, going to over power the rear? Plus, can the Spoon rotor's and Endless brake pads be used with the rear OEM brakes too? Thanks fellas for the information and especially you Mike!

Custom Ap racing 4 pots, cust 25mm thick steel 2 piece disc with custom aluminum hats and custom aluminum carriers, Porterfield R4 pads, goodridge lines dot 5 fluid... front.
Rear, stock calipers, discs, R4 pads, goodridge lines dot 5 fluid.
Works well; not worth the development costs though.

Re: What's your guys Brake Set-up? (9KRacer)
wasn't super hard....but...can be a bit aggrivating though - gettin under the dash for those damn 12mm bolts that hold the booster to the firewall. If you get lucky, try and get a JDM DC2 mc/booster with both lines on one side of the MC...you wont have to bend sh*t...but you will have to cut and flare the 12mm hard line screw.

You would be fine with the stock rear calipers. Just make sure that you have some nice pads for heat resistence purpose. The rear calipers themselves have enough power for track use. Just look at those Japanese tuners for example, almost all of them kept the stock rear calipers even when the fronts were upgraded.

I'll keep my rear OEM brakes for now!
What do you guys, think about this brake set up:
Front-Spoon Calipers with Spoon Cross Rotors, and Endless Brake Pads.
Rear-OEM Calipers with Spoon Cross Rotors, and Endless Brake Pad.
The car will be Auto-X-ed and Track, but mainly Daily Driven too.
Thanks again for you input!

Do you guys have a problem with your upgraded front brakes being too powerful and upsetting front and rear brake bias???
