For safety reasons, that’s not really smart with the fit of the rotors and pads. When you press on that brake those pistons pushes equally, since the pads spacing isn’t equal you’ll come to some issues of seizing those callipers which you don’t want to happen when your at the track. Get some hubcentric adaptor 5mm, to push out the rotors to the Center of the caliper so it gives equal press. Or cheaper alternative is trimming out the calliper mount by 5mm so the calliper sits further back which also helps with clearance! Anyways great video!

Acura TL Type S with Brembo BBk came in 2007 and 2008 not 2006. The 2005 and 2006 TL base with manual transmission came with the same brembo calipers.

[@cbarria90]

Great diy ! You can update later with the spacers u made, with the measures

[@estewar03]

Old comment, but what spacers were you talking about? Other than drilling the holes out larger & removing the dust shield it's a bolt on kit.

[@skorpinox]

3:51 this... because it was rubbing when fullt installed. Need to shave off 1mm on the knuckles. On the mounting bolt holes 2:42.

[@jor763]

Use a 5mm shim behind the rotor

[@soliduspr]

Yes, thats why the inner pad didnt fit. You need to move the rotor out 5mm with a spacer in between the hub and rotor. "Behind the rotor". In most cases you need to cut the edges of the spacer to make it fit.

[@franciscorojas274]

Anyone know where to get it or what type of spacer?

[@toekneefurareoh]

Yep that would be the right way to do it.

[@Bmused247]

Awesome video. Was just wondering if you know of any clearance issues (I have 17" rims, I know the tl type s came with 17's so maybe they'll clear np?) and if your brakes got spongy switching to a bigger caliper. and is it a night and day difference in braking power?

[@62garage58]

These are 18" so it would be hard to know for sure. Your biggest issue would be spoke to caliper clearance so watch out for that. It looks like a 17" should fit fine otherwise. Also, with big brake kits you don't get a huge increase in braking power. It is mostly for the cooling benefits (besides looking great!).

[@Heidsey]

You need to also update to tl-s master cylinder

[@KrxstianPR]

will it fit OEM 9th gen blades? with no issues? 😊

[@nathancloud2392]

Great video

[@figgy1682]

What shim were you talking about that you had a machine shop make? The anti squeal piece?! And what size shin did they make?

[@giovannisomajestic3457]

What size are your RPF1S and offset?

[@kevinharris-charles4066]

Good Video!

[@polskaking1111111111]

Hey bro quick question... if I go to the parts store and just get two front replacement calipers for a 2007 tl type s are they the same as getting them used from a junkyard? Just bare silver and unbranded? Will they bolt right up like if I took them off a TL type s in the junkyard?

[@DriFD3S]

Yes, they are the exact same. The bolt specs should be identical, junkyard/OEM. Hope this helps. OEM will be super easy to paint. Junkyard will be cheaper than OEM.

[@Bardock503ssj2]

Are those the TL type S replacement calipers or the factory ones?

[@johnnyswong]

What size and thread bolt did you use to mount the caliper?

[@franciscorojas274]

Where did you buy the spacer? Or what are specs needed?

[@dannyduarte1988]

What specs are your wheels? My RPF1s are OEM spec,and wanna make sure it will clear. Great vid btw!

[@62garage58]

Hey Danny, these RPF1's are 18x8.5 ET40. They did rub in the rear but a bit of negative camber took care of that.

[@DavidRFelix]

62 Garage why did they rub in the rear? This had nothing to do with the brakes right? Considering this option and might run stock 18s. Hoping they’ll clear too.

[@comradecrawford3318]

I understand this is somewhat an older video, but where did you get the calipers from? (what website, or are they from the dealer?)

[@OBSDoug]

you can get them on Rock Auto

[@julianperez1270]

No bad

[@keemlane]

Do you have to use s2000 rotors

[@UNKNOWN-zb3qm]

Does it save any weight?

[@byronromero95]

Did you stay on the stock brake line? Also any resolution on why the back pad didn’t slide right in?

[@62garage58]

We had already installed Stoptech stainless steel lines (OEM replacement though). We believe that the issues we ran into with the pads were specific to that pad/brand. When we put on a set of track pads we had 0 issues and the spacing was perfect.

[@notsotactical4384]

Are these 07-08 type s calipers or base 6mt calipers

[@tougericer4221]

type s it says in the description

[@willygl27]

Rotors be touching the calipers mountains :( and the wheels is locked up

[@robertbelden7714]

Anyone know if you have to upgrade the brake mc for the tl s brembos on a 9th gen si?

[@Mango_Pnch]

You don’t they’re already the same factory

[@9thgensi137]

Any issues after 6 months?

[@gregoryayala7338]

No everything is working great. Two track days and still strong.

[@genericautovlogs9484]

This hack doesn’t work for the 8th gen sedans does it?

[@62garage58]

Absolutely! We more or less rigged to work for the 9th gen. Forums will likely be your best bet here.

[@JoseReyes-kf1dj]

Wheels offset or using spacers?

[@62garage58]

No spacers -- 18x8.5 ET40

[@solidstreetrunz3956]

Would this work for 8th gen si also ?

[@solidstreetrunz3956]

Everest Films has it been done before?

[@solidstreetrunz3956]

Everest Films thanks man appreciate the info

[@alldaytony2751]

Why not just get Brembo specific calipers? Or is there no options?

[@62garage58]

This route is generally much cheaper.

[@alldaytony2751]

@@62garage58 you got them used or dealership? I might wanna do the same, honda pads last a long time. My last pair lasted me almost 100k miles.

[@gregoryayala7338]

@@alldaytony2751 They were re-manufactured by A1 Cardone. After I bought them ,I found some Acura dealers that still carry them.

[@faithflores7851]

Would this work on 8th gen

[@mrcoco927]

yes

[@marwinjacinto301]

2008 tl Brembo works too?

[@62garage58]

Not sure, honestly. A quick Google search makes them seem very similar but the mounting position may be different.

[@marwinjacinto301]

62 Garage it’s hard to get a definitive answer but so far I’m seeing that all tl type s brembos work

[@DBLOCK020]

Yes 2007 & 2008 Acura TL type s manual or automatic trans don’t matter. Also 05&06 Acura TL 6spd manual transmission comes with the same brembo calipers.

[@mcballer______]

Which rotors did u use

[@62garage58]

They're S2000 rotors.

[@trayc2524]

62 Garage which year rotors? What size are they? MM.

[@jessibeltran1663]

Does s2000 rotor year matter? And what brake pads you using?

[@gregoryayala7338]

@@jessibeltran1663 Don't think it does. These are from a 2006 S2000 though.
