thevikas87 07-16-2008 10:11 PM

Thanks man, I was wondering...what would be the best way to push the piston back in....or should i say best/easiest

kabota 07-16-2008 10:13 PM

either a large c clamp or a tool for pushing the piston back.

aznboi2424 07-16-2008 11:38 PM

Why not add some SS lines while your at it? Dont forget to flush the brake fluid too.

Did it take a long time to ship? They have many slow ship feedback.

StypeCL02 07-17-2008 09:04 AM

I got the same One's R1 Concept's Front and Rear They Look Good.

StypeCL02 07-17-2008 09:06 AM

search for their store on ebay, they have listings starting at 177 and new ones at 232, the 177 ones are the old listings but with the same product, so hurry while you still can get that old price!

How hard is it to put in the calipers? also, will the pads i just bought fit?

no, it took like 5 days for the stuff to get here

dlp 07-17-2008 10:31 AM

I just ordered a set over the phone yesterday. Same exact thing (all four + ceramic pads). They told me it takes 2-4 days to put the zinc coating on, QC, etc, then they ship. The zinc coating gets rubbed off where the pads hit, which may be why one poster says they feel better now than when new... takes time to rub off. The $220 or so is about the same for us Californians.. they are in Orange County so charge state tax of 7.75%. I liked the guy that helped me, but pricing was the same as on eBay... exactly the same... Can't wait to get my package next week some time...

Now I just need to figure out if I do this myself, or have my local shop install....

Hell i paid $240 for just my front ones two yrs ago but they were cryrotreated frozen rotors though and another $200 for the rears. :(

chtrcy 07-17-2008 01:29 PM

Shipping was ok. I wasnt in a hurry to get them either.

thevikas87 07-17-2008 05:14 PM

you guys think those bolts holding the calipers on should come off pretty easily with a socket wrench? or do i need something more heavy duty?

black label 07-17-2008 05:39 PM

My UPS guy brought me 2 new Kuhmos yesterday :yum:

If you really loved it you'd get rid of the aluminum foil.

bhurlbut 07-17-2008 06:49 PM

thevikas87: if that's all you have, then give it a shot-good luck! I used air ratchets/impact sockets-makes the work sooooooooo much quicker.

from what everyone says its a pice of cake. You use the TL pads, TL rotor, TL caliper bracket, and Legend Caliper and put the passenger side one on the drivers side and vice versa. Seems easy enuff. I will probably put mine on next week. I gota paint them 1st

ull be out there for at least 4-5 hours with a socket wrench. Impact gun and ull be dun in 30 min- 1 hour :thumbsup:

thevikas87 07-18-2008 10:01 AM

LOL yeaa i gotta buy some better tools, i need an impact gun

aznboi2424 07-19-2008 03:33 AM

Might want to look into a electric impact gun if you dont want to shell out for a compressor, have no room for it, or aren't getting anymore air tools.

Echo42987 07-19-2008 11:16 AM

there a link to where you got these?

go to ebay, and search for R1 concepts store, the ebay listing i bought from has ended, it was for 177, now i think the new listing with the same product is 232, but go ahead and call them directly and see if he'll hook it up with a lower price...good luck

thevikas87 07-19-2008 06:00 PM

WHOEVER WANTS THESE GET THEM WITHIN THE NEXT 20 HOURS!!! THIS IS THE LAST OLD LISTING.



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...57035725QQrdZ1


just trying to help someone who needs these out....the new price for this package is 232 so try to grab these for 177...
