My dad has a 1997 Acura RL in Green, leather seats, no premium package. This car, if anyone knows, is known for a brake problem. No matter what, the brakes squeak. This has been a problem with many owners, braka quiet, ceramic pads, cross drilled rotors, nothing really helps. Most have used Acura NSX hubs and brakes to stop the squeal, which is a common fix. I took my dad's wheel off cause I heard a noise, like something loose hitting the disc. Not the tab from low pads, cause the pads are fine. Not the vibration of a disc from being misaligned. I did notice a cut in the rotor. But what I want to know is, is this brakes from a Acura NSX? I know that I have seen pics of a 91-96 NSX caliper, its 2 pot, and has the letters NSX imprinted on it. This is a single pot caliper, and the hat of the rotor looks too big to be from a NSX of that year. What about from a 97 or later NSX? Any pics of those? These calipers say NISSIN on the back. Here are pics of the hub. Anyone?

Those are NOT NSX brakes, they are the stock brakes.

Those look like stock RL brakes to me. Also, I've worked at Acura for 5 years and I'm not familiar with the early RL's having any brake squeal problems unless you're using aftermarket pads. Do you know what pads you have?
