I'm not sure they are brembos, just brembo rotors. the calipers are made by acura arent they?

do you have any pics of your car with TL body kit?

Kevin,
You are putting more dead weight on your car. The distance between yours and Kevin's GS will be longer.


Good luck, dude ;-)

why not get something else like the rotora or wilwood. the 04 tl brakes, like many other oem brembos, pretty much only add a few tenths of an inch on rotor size (in the 6sp TL, they add .4 inch for a total of 12.2) and they are not cross drilled or slotted, which means they will hardly resist heat better than the factory brakes TLS/CLS came with.

more important than anything is not the drilling/slots though, its about mass and lighter weight. thats where the rotora and wilwood and even aftmkt brembo GT kits exceed. they offer 2 piece designs (for WW and Brembo) and all mentioned kits have much more mass to dissipitate the heat better, and with slots/drill it is even better.

as for whether they would fit, i would say they probably do, but it all depends on bracket design. i think it shouldnt be too hard, but i doubt it would be cheap either.

not to knock the performance gains from rotora or willwood, but i think the slight stopping gain plus having the nice ass calipers might be a reason enough to change

unless your getting a 5 finger discount it be cheaper to get a real aftermarket kit.
