175 for the calipers is a pretty good deal. If you get lucky you might not need the bearings cause you can press the bearing and hub out as a assembly, but you'll need a 90 degree snap ring pliers to take the snap ring out. For sure you are gonna need Knuckles,rotors,pads,flex hoses,rotor backing plate,shim between knuckle and caliper. And a 50% chance you'll need the ABS sensors cause they might be rusted into the knuckle.If you do get new ones make sure you use some dielectric(tune up)grease and lube the sensor up before putting it in the knuckle.

It’s not to bad we have an account with an Acura dealer so I get 40% off anything I’ll need so as long as I can get the Brembos cheep the rest should not be bad. I’m going to buy the Calipers and Knuckle’s used I’ll buy the rest new.

sounds like a good plan. If you work at a shop and have all the tools then it shouldnt take more than an hour each side. Good luck!!

hate to restart an old thread, but im actually looking to do the opposite, i have a 04 6MT tl i just picked up it has a automatic knuckle on one side and a MT knuckle on the other side that grinds my wheel and it drives me crazy, not the grinding the fact that they are different lol but the grinding occurred only when i tried to put a different caliper on and realized i could not, when i put the old brembo caliper on it started grinding, If i get a new knuckle for the side from a AT 04 TL will i be able to switch the whole set up, i already have new rotors and pads as well as a AT caliper for that side it just didnt fit.
