Default Acura brake swap

Has anyone done an Acura TSX/TL brake swap on an Ep? If so can you post pics and instructions? I'm really interested, thanks

I thought about it it wont work according to Len (parts manager from Sonsacuraparts.com) he said they tried it on a TypeS and the bolt patterns off wont fit but i imagine u could possibly fab something for it....they would be awsome though

What's the rotor size difference in that? Is it the same size as the TSX, I thought the TSX was a bigger rotor...the calipers swap right over too?

I agree with the TYPE-S brake swap onto an EP3. You really can't go wrong and with Cobalt GT or XR series pads, you will stop on a dime on track with the proper tires!

There are some floating around. I've seen one on k-series.com. It's very easy to do though.

I'm still kind of lost, so you're saying that the Type S rotors and S200 calipers will fit the EP? Not the Type R but the USDM? Any upgrades needed?

ok if u have an 04-05 the typeS **** will bolt right up...the s2k uses the same calipers as the usdm 06+ si and the RSX typeS and the EP3R uses the same rotors as the RSX-S as well....calipers are the same but say typeR on em
