Learn how to install Spoon Monoblock brake calipers on your 1991-2005 Acura/Honda NSX. First part of the video is an unboxing and my thoughts, while the second part is a step by step installation. This kit is NOT specifically for the NSX, but, like a lot of Honda/Acura parts, it can fit and is safe to run. I go through the steps for installation on an NSX and take the guess work out so you can install yours without worry since there aren't any specific instructions for the NSX.
Note: If you have a NA2 (97-05) You already have the correct size front rotors. Every other installation step should be the same.
