Will void warranty, dun play2 car is still new and prone to problems not found in other cars. My baby just suffered a gearbox problem, now need to wait for parts since fully imported. Good thing is all repairs paid for and tow/transported paid for too! If they cant repair, get new car...maybe FL if I'm lucky (or unlucky).

Always look on the bright side!  thumbup.gif

Not cheap bro...but spoon one is really sexy..i got quoted the same price as well for it...at sunway...maybe if we go and install it together we could actually get a cheaper price for it.. tongue.gif

If it is 6K plus, it should be coming from JC racing at Sunway biggrin.gif
Just a note, do you guys know the size of the disc that JC have paired with the Spoon calipers? I have seen Spoon calipers which have not matched well with the disc (300mm), thus the brake pads only grips 70% of the disc area, leaving a rusted part of the disc which the brake pads never touch (close to the hub)....
The problem with Spoon calipers is that they don't package it with the disc as a factory set, thus relying on a lot of plug-and-play method. Even inside Hyper Rev CRZ magazine, they do not sell together as a set. cry.gif

what magazine is that?
speaking of spoon, have anyone seen a crz with sw388 rims on it?

A tuning magazine specifically for Japanese cars (not all, but major tune-able ones). One of the magazines to look for if you wish to know what parts are available for your car.

Yes bingo it's JC racing..but from what i heard that they're selling the entire set which comes with the disc as well..as for whether it fits perfectly that is the question, somehow i would not take the risk paying so much for brakes that only grips 70%....that is the reason why i'm going for brembo instead.. icon_rolleyes.gif
If JC is selling in a set, i would think that they have paired it correctly. The CRZ that I saw was already on the street, not sure where did the person install that Spoon kit.
For your brembos, where did u get them from? Was it a kit complete with disc etc?

There is a CRZ running with that blue Spoon colour already tongue.gif
From the looks of the engine bay, I can see the Spoon throttle body and they swapped in a GE8 head & intake plenum (due to the missing EGR). Probably something I might want to look into smile.gif
One thing that interest me a lot is the side mirror... looks dem chun
