Default TL Type S/TSX Brake swap

Is it possible to upgrade the EP3 rotors and calipers to the Acura TL Type S or TSX set up? If so, has anyone done it, any links, or generally point me in the right direction.

Thanks

bump

the bolt pattern is the same from the TL Type S and the Ep. The only thing is how the calipers sit. They sit in the front and EPs sit in the back. Not sure if the bracket would fit.

This is a good question ... I actually have both cars in the garage right now. I'll give it a shot when the rotors need replacing on the TL-S. However I am running the DC5-R Brembos already on the EP... so it might not give you any good info. Either way I'll try it out ...

Cool man thanks alot.

That front mount bracket for the calipers (for the TL) is different than the back bracket for the EP (back mount). Might be a problem.
