Do you know that your TIRES have more of an effect on stopping distance than ANY (well maintained) brake system?
I am all for easier brake changes, I am all for lighter weight, I am all for bling bling (alothough, I don't really consider baby blue a bling bling color.) I am all for enhanced cooling.
I am ALSO all for facts. And the fact is that your 4 piston calipers are NOT clamping the pad any harder. More evenly mabey. You are not getting any more pad contact than the stock caliper. And for sure, you are not stopping any sooner with these than with the stock calipers (with track pads, and DOT4 fluid.)

I love my calipers, great upgrade for the ugly ass stock S2000 brakes.
They stop better... and are more efficient. get over it.

Nope.
Same amount of force (if not a bit less).
The only benefit with the Spoon calipers is a slight weight reduction and better cooling ability.

See, that's what I'm talking about.
That's incorrect information.
That's incorrect information.
Just one example is: Spoons dissipate heat better causing less brake fade which leads to BETTER STOPPING.
This is such a dumbass argument.
Im done.

Dude, get your info correct.
It is DEFINITELY an incorrect statement.
They dissipate heat better - sure, but that in no way helps you stop BETTER. What it does is let you stop more consistantly. That's not the same thing.
