Default Spoon Calipers

I've got a serious craving for Spoon calipers....will they fit AP2 wheels and if so with what size spacers??....where is the best and cheapest place to buy the calipers and the spacers

will they fit the oem rotors and the SubZero rotors

also I installed goodridge lines on oem calipers...will I be able to use those lines on the Spoon calipers...

one more thing can you guys name any other aftermarket calipers that satisfy the same criteria?

i'm praying for some positive feedback....thanks in advance!!!!

cheapest place to buy them is Bulletproof Automotive... by a long shot. their group buy on them is for $1475 shipped. the cheapest i found them anywhere else was invision at $1520... but Bulletproof has them in stock. furthermore, pad and rotor fitment is the same as oem. i don't know what spacers you will need but i am sure they would work with spacers, i just don't know what size and make sure they are hubcentric. also...depending on how big of a spacer you need, you may have to roll your fenders. but thats no biggie.

it's going to be like that with any brake kit except the wilwood 4 pot. the brembo calipers are the smallest.
