well i just looked at my nieghbors 2005 RL and the brakes are pretty big. they are a 4pot aluminum caliper and they seem like a pretty easy brake upgrade with a custom adapter. the way they mount is just like the spoon MONOBLOCK calipers. perhaps you can use the spoon adapters. anyhow, just another option to look into.

crappy pic but the caliper looks really really nice. the acura logo is engraved in the caliper.

LEN, ANY HOOK UP DEALS?

 

those things are freakin sweet and expensive!! Isnt migs working on a kit for a tl right now?

these are a completely different calipers then the ones that migs is working on. these arent that bad in price bout 350 a piece.

 

Too bad they don't say Honda .

 

That would be supa sweet. Same with the TL retro-fit.

Unfortunately, you need 17's to run them

 

How much do TL caliper weight? or RL caliper weight?

sucks for you

 

presonally i love 17in wheels im assuming the RL calipers would be lighter since they are aluminum. not positive what the TL calipers are made of.

 

I think there was a post about this recently, dunno if they got it to work though.

 

Nope, won't work. The new RL's borrow's motorcycle technology and has their calipers "Radial Mounted." So you would have to custom fab a mount or use a modified knuckle.

Fool, you even said the TL calipers wont mount up to the DC2 knuckles. The holes are in the same position!!

 

Migs,

Are the TL caliper supposedly "radial mounted"?

Dont know what he means by radial position. I understand the 2 terms apart from each other but "radial position" ??

 

only 350 a piece!? anyone done this to a dc5-s yet

 

i know this would not be a direct bolt-on, but fabbing up a bracket to fit these seems pretty easy. if you look... its the exact some way that the SPOON MONOBLOCK calipers mount to the knuckles.





spoon monoblocks and adapter


who wants to try? im sure i could fab up a bracket but too bad i dont have money to buy a caliper for bracket R&D. Len wanna donate me one

Because although they line up they really don't line up, that's what Mike's saying. LoL

This still isnt gonna help the fact that you will have to run a 17in wheel.
