Yes, I need these to slow down all that horsepower.

Bigger brakes would look nice, though.

I'm not sure if it's right but I heard DC5 Integra Type r Brembo's will bolt on front. If its right I may go for that as I never got round to it with ma DC2 teg!

Honestly, that would be the biggest waste of money ever...unless you plan on increasing the HP in the Fit to like 400BHP.

While for street purposes yes it would be super overkill but if you are on track there are benefits. You can brake later and as a result have i higher average speed around the track= faster times.

just my 2 cents

I'm gonna go with Spoon calipers on my Fit once I super or turbo charge my Fit.

And I just noticed something that's pretty interesting. Since these types of calipers have pots on both sides of the rotor, I just noticed they also have two bleed screws. Would you have to bleed each one separately when bleeding?

Bleeder nipples on both side facilitate the bleeding process. It makes it hard to remove the air on the side the nipple is not present.

So could you then bleed through only the outer nipple? Effectively making bleeding your brakes as easy as reaching in through the rim?
