I'd also like to point out that Spoon MONOBLOCK's are the same size as the TL-S caliper shown above. That photo is misleading because it's showing the difference between the smaller Spoon TWINBLOCK, not the Spoon MONOBLOCK that's used on our cars. TWINBLOCK's are used to provide clearance on applications that require the use of 15" wheels.

For the record, Spoon MONOBLOCK's clear 16" wheels with the appropriate offset - it's tight, but if it fits. Here's a photo from my own car with 16's;

I just grabbed the first pic of the tl-s caliper I could find, didn't mean to mislead anyone into thinking it was twice the size of a spoon caliper. With the tl you're still getting a large caliper, with easy to find pads and replacement parts for 1/3 of the price of the spoons.
Sorry if I came across as critical, I didn't intend it that way. You're also entirely correct about the premium you'll pay for Spoon parts, I just wanted to speak from personal experience is all.

If that's the case then you wouldn't need s2000 rotors item9 has spoon monoblocks with rsx type s mugen rotors
I'm also using 300mm RSX-S rotors, albeit Stoptech's slotted variant.
