J's Racing only have Brakes for teh AP2/AP1 application. None for TSX/Accord. Well, if Ben can convince J's Racing to modify their brakes a little, it can fit on our car no problem. Our brakes and the S2000 brakes are very similar.

yeah it is cause you can get endless for between 3000-3500 and the j's converted from the s2000 would be around 4000USD. I would have to know the specs to know if they will fit under my new planned wheels if I can ever find a set of them.

from the pictures i found on the j's racing site of the ones for the s2000 there is no difference from the endless ones other than the name on them however they are both very different from the spoon ones. the spoon ones use stock size rotors where as the the endless and j's have larger rotors.

the second one of those two is lighter and thus costs more.
however I am not sure about the other two.
The first one is twill weave and the second one is called plain weave. The are both very good quality but it just depends on how the make it. Twill weave is more commonly known as the hand-laid weave, which means is heavier this cheaper. But there are some VERY good quality computer-laid twill weave carbon fibre parts out there, such as ASM. Plain weave is more common among Spoon, and Mugen. And those are computer-laid, which means it's lighter and thus more expensive. Both are very good quality though!
Also, the J's Racing, Endless and T1R (AJ brand) are all made from the same factory, hence the similar identical look. However, SPoon is still made elsewhere in Japan. So, spoon is different from the rest. And Spoon is only 4 caliper and use with OEM rotrs, while J's, T1R, and Endless are 6-pot and require a whole brake system kit.

well that is the case however the cheaper one is also carbon fiber on the top and fiberglass on the bottom and the more expensive one is double sided carbon fiber so that also helps. If I do buy one it will be the top one just cause I already own a single sided carbon hood. That hood just got added to my list of future products.
