The brake pads are definately different on the dc4 compared to the dc2, so the calipers would be different, but i wouldnt think that there would be much difference in compatibility if you were to put the spoon calipers on the dc4. I think they would fit, and even if they didnt it wouldnt take much to make them fit. i suggest checking out the US forums as they have plenty of this stuff in them.

jdm dc5r brembos on a dc2r will require 17" rims to clear it..

surely spoon is better, I mean you use the OEM sized pad and OEM sized rotors, braking would be absolutely well the SAME I guess :P. wouldnt you wanna pay heaps of money for better brake feel.

Yeah, absolutely, couldn't agree with you more. I would jump at the chance to use a caliper that uses OEM sized pads and OEM sized rotors for slightly better brake feel at huge expense. Go Spoon!
