ok so i have been researching all day not coming up with much a few of my friends have told me certian year accord parts can work on the RL. does anyone know if thats true. cause im curious to know.

 

I don't think any do. I thought the RL was a unique platform.

Did they say which parts?

 

They have fluid in common. Power steering fluid, transmission, coolant, oil, etc. wheels. That's all I can think of at the moment.

 

well he didnt say anything abotu what they could use. but he just said he knows they have some things in common from certian years. if they dont whatever was just curious lol

 

I was curious about this too. I have 01 Rl 3.5 and we have a total loss , I believe to be 09 ,accord 3.5 l v-6 at the shop i work at. The accord was hit hard in the rear and bought for front end parts. I was thinking that the majority of the engine would be simular. Or maybe if i should keep the motor from the accord for possable engine swap down the road. Dont the later accord v-6 's have alot more hp?

 

so i have read, coilovers and rims fit up nice, maybe the front seats can be switched out, engine is a no go, one of a kind, special set up.

 

Why would you put cheap crappy seats from an Accord when the KA9 comes with ultra comfortable seats well made with quality thick leather???????? Why would you put a 1 carat diamond in a gold plated cheap band????????????????????????????????

 

• Hate to sound stupid but why are early RLs referred to as "KA9" . Please fill me in, lol, and please be gentle.

 

KA9 was Honda's internal designation of the first generation Acura RL 1996-2004 models.

 

You can use 98-02 Accord camber arms and 04-08 TL coilovers (using RL OEM tophats)

 

So i have NISSN not "Nissan" its a caliper mainly installed on the Honda Accord, 02- 06 i believe. I have NISSIN on all 4 tires, the front tire i searched the part # 17cl16vn that is the front caliper. Cannot read the rear # but i found 2 for sale from 50-70$ basically it seems like all replacement parts are a similar fit from Honda model cars. Just trying to see all i can find to retrofit as the Honda parts seem more inexpensive than the OEM Acura brand
