Got a customer asking this question. He totaled out his TSX, and now has an 05 RSX. Since the TSX brakes seem to be laregre then the RSX. Anyone done a full brake swap like this?

Thanks

 

What about RL brakes? I know this is a little off topic but I was wonderingn about this also.

 

Hmmmm, tasty. bro that is a good question too.

Hopefully some can give us some light down this tunnel

 

Fo realz. lol

 

you can do it by making your own brackets for the caps to bolt onto.. but your braking bias will be off. and you will have to fix that somehow.

 

TSX calipers bolt right onto the RSX-S rotor/knuckle. The TSX has a slightly larger pad area than the AP1/DC5 pads. The TSX calipers will also fit inside 16" 02-04 RSX oem wheels.

 

there you go .. put that in your mouth .. eat it .. enjoy..

 

Sheesh... almost like putting Brembos on, too.

Will the required wheel offset change to clear the brakes, though?

 

Any of the OEM wheels will fit with the TSX calipers, aftermarket wheels generally are wider and have a lower offset than oem.

 

Not exactly. The TSX i believe may use a different rotor (it is thicker is for sure) but the centerbore may be larger than the RSX hub's centerbore. Therefore it won't be hubcentric unless someone can verify the screws work the same.

For those of you asking about the RL brakes onto a DC5, sit tight, gimme about two weeks, I'm already on it.

 

^ You can reuse the RSX-S rotor with TSX calipers.

 

Can you verify this? by my measurements, the TL pad is too tall, it falls off the edge of the rotor on the back (the RSX-S rotor, tho the same diameter, is very different from a TL rotor of the same diameter.)

 

I have been using TSX/CL1/CL7 calipers with RSX-S rotors for about a year now. Fits fine.

 

Hi BrakeExpert, bringing this back from the dead! I have a JRSC EP3 and access to a complete 2004 TSX donor car.

Would the TSX front brakes fit, like a RSX-S setup would? What do I need to swap other than calipers, rotors, and pads?

Should I also swap the master cylinder and proportioning valve to maintain proper pedal feel and bias? I checked and TSX has similar sized rear brakes (10.2") and the hub bore is the same 64.1mm.

Lastly, would the effective wheel offset change due to different thickness of the new setup?

Thanks!
