Spoon calipers with DBA 4000 rotor

After a bit of search on the net, i found Spoon calipers with DBA 4000 rotor could be fitted into DC2R without any problem but is there anyone can confirm that this combo would also be fitted into Ek4 with 16x6.5, offset 40?

From DBA catalogue, it mentions part number 474 is for front of "EK 3door". It is 262mm which the same as stock rotor size. Is it possible to fit in bigger one with Spoon caliper and the current 16" rim?

Any difference between the Twin-Block and Monoblock caliper other than the weight?

Sorry with that many of questions at the same time :p

I always thought that the twin-block were for DC2/EG, while monoblock was for DC5/AP1/EP...

no?

Wrong, Monoblock can be fitted to the DC2, EG, EK as well. Just a different type of brake. Twin block is cheaper and yes it will also fit on EK

Is it worth the money to buy monoblock?

In my honest opinion probably not. From my understanding the only difference is that twin block is a 4 piston caliper where as the monoblock has to larger pistons. And the monoblock is supposed to be a little lighter. Someone correct me if im wrong.

Ive had twin blocks before and they pull up quite well.

From Spoon official web, Monoblock is 4.7KG while Twin-Block is 5.2KG

to answer your orginal question. If you own an EK4 (VtiR) then yes, Twin-block Spoon calipers will bolt straight onto your knuckle. Just need to buy the right Disc size to match in 4 x 100. DBA should have what you're looking for.

What you mean by "right" disc size should be 262mm for me right?
By any chance, is it possible to put in 282mm(DC2R size?) with the Spoon caliper in a 16'?

Thanks very much and now i got another problem again.
Can someone confirm the max.& min. thickness of the rotor for Spoon caliper(Mono&Twin)?
or would it be possible that i just tell the guy that i want the rotors for EK4 to suit Spoon caliper and with 282mm, i will properly get the right thing, isnt it?
