cltypeSLOW

anyone know the scoop on this product?

they dont make a direct line for the CL, but i was wondering if anyone knew if the kit for the 98-02 accord v6 would work. it seems like a realy nice kit seeing as how its an 8 piston setup. let me know bbk experts!

^ all it takes is a little digging for good prices and some good friends to help you out.

8 piston caliper and 2 piece floating rotor... no wonder its 2gs.

Don't forget, you would probably need a new master cylinder for that bad boy. Its a monster.

Bobbydoedoe

dang now taht is a monster made my rotora looked like honda brakes compare to taht monster

geezz..do you really need 8 pistons?!?!?!

GreenMonster

There is no such thing as too much brakes

pits200

Thats true, with 8 pistons, what the heck, is each pot the size of a nickle.

Stealth CL

damn those are sick....id love to sport those. the rotors are sexyness, and everything else

Time For Sleeep

lovin' the orange calipers

cltypeSLOW

anyone else have any input on this? would i really need a new master cylinder?

cltypeSLOW

that is the truth.

Titand19

unless you are autocrossing or at the track I doubt 8 pistons would benefit you anymore than 4. And for 2g's I'd much rather get a set of brembos.

cltypeSLOW

whys that? just for the name?

as for the price, i can get them for about the price as the rotora kit. so that is what im comparing them to.

cltypeSLOW

ima see if they offer ABS support as well. i will let yall know

Bobbydoedoe

might want to think about the brake front/back bias with a kit like this

cltypeSLOW

^trueness.

throw your in brian i see your watching

forward me the pricing mang. i'd be interested.

i was browsing through the ksport site, stop stalking me biatch. haha

that's a good point - but then again upgrading the rear brakes should be fun.

Bobbydoedoe

they do have the rotora bbk but thatts another 2g.

The 4 piston ROTORA rear BBK is $2k, but the 2 piston is far less.

Probably closer to the size of dimes. The Brembo calipers seem to be the biggest calipers for this car and those use a 40mm and 36mm piston on each side. The pistons on these Ksports must be tiny to fit 8 onto those calipers, and if they are that small, it will give you no advantage over a 4 piston set-up with pistons of equal total size (equal area of all pistons). The only advantage I see to these is being different and being able to say you have 8 piston brakes.

^interesting take on that. thanks.

and they're anondized orange <3

yea that orange is growing on me.

hows the build quality on those rotors???

CleanCL

a guy on the lexus forums said he saw them in person and their not very impressive.

cltypeSLOW

link me.

Time For Sleeep

what would be unimpressive about them visually detectable?

cltypeSLOW

i was wondering that too. seems like some jibberish. i will link you check PM.

just look at them, i dont know, from the picture it doesnt look worth 2500, and for less than that you can get a bigger rotor and piston from rotora.

cltypeSLOW

both rotors are 330mm. ~13inch pistons are bigger but less of them. so the braking force isnt spread out as much. thats why the OEMs warp so bad cause its focused on one spot. i was thinking these would be better even if the pistons are smaller and the caliper is the same size....it would be spreading out the braking power more evenly accross the pad. know what i mean? correct me if im wrong

Brembo Monoblock Indy calipers don't look impressive either, but you'll find them on race cars from NASCAR to F1

Number of pistons has nothing to do with our rotors warping. The fact that Acura sucks at designing a brake system does. Want to guess how many pistons an M3, M5 or M6 has? Just one ginormous piston yet the brakes on these cars get great reviews.
