Default TL Caliper refrofit **how to**

Well, I completed one of the first NSX brake caliper swaps. Upgraded to the Stoptechs (thanks yoshi!), and now Im going to hopefully create a way to retrofit TL calipers.

First and foremost, I hope this doesnt become a debate if this is practical for anyone or not. I do this on my spare tire outside of work. I enjoy working on Hondas, specifically brakes and front ends!

Being a practical financial upgrade (for me at least) is out of the picture.

I will be updating everybody on my progress and findings. Nothing will be a secret. I want everybody to know how to do it. No secrets here!

Edit: Thanks Len for the great hookup!

Suspense is killing me too. So far I found out that the TL rotor and the caliper combined will not work under a stock Type-R wheel.

Like Kendall said, its not diameter, its offset.

Nice, glad someone decided to try this... Any chance of them fitting behind stock wheels with spacers?
