RSX-S AEM rotors on a '04 TSX?
Hello to all,
I have been searching and reading several threads regarding brake setups for our cars. Two threads I read through had a few members claiming that the RSX Type-S brake systems (stock) are identical to the 04-05 TSX setup.
My question is:
Is this true, as in has anyone actually used an RSX-S big brake kit or upgraded rotors on a TSX?
Secondly, if they do indeed work, would the AEM larger rotor upgrade setup work? Will the relocation bracket function with out front calipers?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I'm looking to do a feasible upgrade for road racing this summer but don't want to shell out $1.5k for a Stoptech setup.
TIA

^^They are different widths, though they are both 16" rotors.
They are similar caliper and setup, but they are not the same (ie they don't share the same parts in all respects).

Thanks for the replies guys.
When you say "width" are you referring to the width of the rotor including the hat, or simply the rotor surfaces (both sides + internal venting)?
Because if the hat widths are the same, it shouldn't affect the offset of the rotors themselves. If the width of the rotor surface area isn't too much it should work since the caliper (when clamped) could compensate for the difference.
If anything I would think the RSX-S rotors would possibly be thinner in the rotor surface area than the TSX being that the TSX is a heavier platform.
What do you guys think? Maybe I can get a hold of one of my buddies with a rsx-s and take some measurements....

just so you know, rotora has a bbk application that costs about 1200$ and comptech offers a rear brake upgrade, where is moves the rear caliper further out and you get bigger rotors.
