that is sick looking. I am possibly getting a sponsorship by rotora for fronts and rears. it is still in the work but dont hold me to it. and anyone that says it isnt jdm go screw yourself. when you get a sponsorship oppertunity you take it.

What's the pad composition? How is brake dust/noise?
The only people who make a rear BBK for our car are Stoptech...

and with +40 offset the brembos barely cleared, unless u can find a slim caliper like my set of wilwoods (they are the narrow ones to make it fit on our car)
so if u want brembo kit, stock wheels will not fit and u need +40 offset to clear
if u want to keep the stock wheels u might want to use the Spoon 4 pistons calipers, they should fit with stock wheels with a 5mm spacers

u can order a custom set on ur own, i recommend u choose a narrow caliper so it can fit with stock wheels with some spacers
a custom set of dynalite 4 pistons would run around 1600 for the front, if u want superlite 4 or 6 pistons it will run a little bit more
but i recommend superlite calipers for TSX because the car is heavy, dynalite is for civics and not as powerful

JUST A THOUGHT...........
do you guys really feel. honestly enough differences between brembo and stock ones to justify the money spent? i mean if you like having brembo and u like the look. hey, its more than good enough, but im just wondering if it make enough a tangible difference cause even when i mod cars before changing brakes were never on my mind and stock ones were always good enough... just wondering.....?
