you would at least have to have custom caliper brackets made.

U may not have to if the spindle can fit right on and stay in specs. that is the only reason I might get them and try em on.

I completely agree with this!!! When I saw the thread title I thought, no, you need brackets. Then when I saw the pics, my first thought was, I bet those would bolt right up except for that lower ball joint.

I have completely torn down the suspension on the CL/TL a few times and completely rebuilt mine. Those who have needed to use custom brackets never tried swapping the whole spindle because you wouldn’t need them if you did. From looking at the spindle I can tell you that it looks identical to the CL/TL spindle in geometry. That lower ball joint appears to be different but all you would need to do is push it out and push in a Moog or OEM CL/TL lower ball. Even if the measurements are close, I bet they are very close if not the same (top to bottom, and offset), you could get the adjustable front camber kit from Ingals and I bet you would be in business.

I say Try it!

Only one way to find out if it would work.

i'm having second thoughts about the seller. is he a friend of urs?

plus worried about the rusted parts in there. also not sure if the knuckle is bent or not.

They look fine to me! I dont see anything out of the ordinary. They look perfect to me. I dont know why you would think they are bent. Side by side they look right. If one of you gets these you can send them to me with the new ball joints and I will change them for you and make sure they will fit then ship them to you if they do. I may want to do this also. If I didnt have my Rotora kit I would have jumped all over this. Hell if they dont work out just dump them. Someone with a 04+ TL without these calipers will jump on these at that price. Nothing to lose.

^Had a feeling that would happen. Sets like that don't last forever.

I knew those would go if no one got on them. Seriously, if someone wants to do this, get off your ass and buy the set. Send it to me and I will make it work or prove it doesnt. If they do you wont have to pay me anything for making it work for you and I will ship them strait to you. I just want to help find a new great mod for the car for those who cant afford the BBK. Those would look sick behind the 8" '04 TL wheels I have on my car. Black ACURA Brembo calipers behind the wheels, nice! If they dont fit, just sell them and you take no loss. Pretty simple. So who wants to do this for real?

Keep in mind that, while it may cost you 400-800 to get another spindle caliper combo like that, You will be able to sell your stock calipers, rotors and spindles for not too much less as a set also. Dont forget our spindles are worth $300+ each. I think you could easily find someone to pay 300-700 for our set of spindles and calipers.

Does he have another screen name?

Maybe I am getting his confused with Spoolin Spoon...

He has the 3.5 CL right with dual exhaust tips...?
