I remember being short of bubble wrap, and staples is a rip off.... so I grabbed some hospital blankets and tape and wrapped it in that... works like a charm... just asked kneedrager
THANK GOD i PICKED UP THE BREMBO'S, OTHERWISE.....

Yes, but its quite a bit of work. Here is the list of parts you need:

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-112/d-103-tl-s-brembo-swap-parts-list-716463/#post10669446

Unless you can find someone selling a used setup you are better off buying an aftermarket BBK as it will be cheaper.

I moved the image so the link on the first page is broken. But here is the pic of the box in case anyone new is reading this:


The box had holes in both sides with parts hanging out.

Anyways since this thread got revived here is a new pic to add of the Brembos behind my new HREs

Damn that is a horrible packing job, what an idiot! Do you know if those brake pads you bought could be used on a Rotora BBK? By the way brakes look good!

Yeah the packing job was total shit. All the parts just thrown together in one box. Anyways I have no idea about Rotora BBKs do they use the same size pads as the Brembos?

Those rims look sick man. You should repaint the calipers anyway since they got tore up in shipping. Its your chance to get a diff color atleast.

You will never see chrome on my car, anywhere, ever.

Besides...black lips = wheel trophies

True but then theres the problem of matching the rear calipers. I am a perfectionist, and I hate the rear calipers. If I do go that far I will probably just get front and rear Rotora BBK.

There was another thread a week or so ago of someone who installed yellow brembos in the front and painted his rear rotoras yellow to match and just put a rear brembo sticker (small b logo) on his rear caliper. They looked hot. Would be cheaper than spending 1400 on the front kit like i did and then another 1500 on the rear kit like i will do in a few months.

Not a bad idea, I was also thinking about fabricating the rear brembos from a G35 or Evo onto my car. Since I have found the calipers for pretty cheap on ebay.

If your good at doing work like that I say go for it. I think all you need to fab up are the brackets for the caliper, right ?

All I will say is, good luck man, its not easy. Try and find a used setup if you can to save on money, otherwise you might as well just buy a Rotora kit.

I believe so. We shall see...I have other things I want to do before this happens.

BTW, any pics of your car? Curious to see which color Rotoras you chose for AM and how it looks.

Ok let me make this as simple as possible for you. Here is the list:

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10669446

You take the part number (example for the knuckle: 51210-SEP-A01)

and you paste that into this website at the top where it says Enter Part Number:

http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...y1=&inputstate=

and look at that, there is the part you need. Add it to your cart.

Repeat that process until you have all the parts you need and then checkout.
