I have a 2003 Type S, and I was wondering if it's possible to install '98 Brakes on my car. i previously owned a 98 3.2TL and I found the brakes that came Stock were the best I've ever felt in a car. Before Acura screwed them up at 60 000km, they felt so damn good. I've never had a car literally be able to stop on the spot.

Anyhow, I hate the brakes that come in the Type S. They don't feel powerful, and furthermore you can't be hard on them because they warp so quickly. I don't want to run into any warping of brakes anymore, so I want to go back to the 98 TL brakes.

Can this be done? Keep in mind I don't race. Well only sometimes off the line at a light, but not on a track.

Thanks

 

good question but i dont see why not. they're both the same lug pattern (5x114.3) so its could be possible. to find out for sure, id go to your local dealership and ask the guys in the parts dept.. they should know

 

a little tip for heat dissipation - when coming to a fast stop, continue to roll a bit (don't let the pads come to a complete stop on the rotors). This will prevent deposits and warping of your rotors.
