So what's the point then? Just more distributed clamping area?

"The Spoon S2000 monoblock calipers can be used with factory brake pads and save a good deal of weight off the stock units. Factory weight is 4.7kg each and the Spoon calieprs are a mere 2.6kg."

or you can always just go and buy the expensive ass spoon pads at http://www.inlinefour.com

"Spoon brake pads are one of the best for street and track use. The characteristics of Spoon brake pads are as follows: 1) High fading 2) Excellent operation at low temperatures 3) Equivalent long lasting to normal configuration 4) Low level of impact to the rotor.

These characteristics have been achieved not only through the type of pad materials, rather a number of different factors such as the back metal have been combined for this purpose. Furthermore, in addition to generating excellent stopping power, the characteristics of Spoon brakes apply the negative-inertial acceleration generated during braking to achieve a superior level of control with respect to cornering power. With a rotor temperature of between 200 and 300C, the optimum degree of negative acceleration can be achieved, thus allowing any driver to handle the vehicle with confidence in road-driving situations as well as developing a sense of directness in brake application. Sold as a set of Front and Rear pads."


SPON0102: $242.00"

I like the Spoon calipers, but I'm not too sure if it's worth the money.
