NSX calipers?

I'm just thinkin' bout my next big performance upgrade (which will be brakes) and I remember how the sema cl was all tricked out... someone said those were nsx calipers, what do you guys think? how much would that cost? Do you think it'll be direct bolt on?

As far as I know... it IS a direct bolt on.

As for how much... go to a OEM replacement parts site like www.carparts.com and search for the part.

Let us know...

Actually... I just checked carparts.com too.

I search on a 2000 NSX first... and couldnt find anything.

But I then searched on a 1995 NSX for the heck of it... and sure enough... they listed replacement calipers.

However the list was huge... so im not sure what is the correct Part...

So go ahead and search on a 95 NSX (or less then 2000 NSX) and see what u find.

Just to chime in on what I know.

I'm pretty sure that when I had my TL... people (Jedi maybe) talked about this a lot... and someone confirmed that it was a direct bolt on to the TL. All this was well over a year ago on HAHAHAnet.

But either way. If it fits a TL... it will fit a CL-S.

Someone with the cash should just call your local Acura parts department... ask them how much for NSX calipers... and swap em out.

Should be simple enough to do the work yourself... dont think its a big deal to change calibers.

Comptech offers replacement brake systems for the CL/S with either 12.4 inch rotors or 13 inch rotors with Brembo calipers.You can also check AEM's website I think they offer a brake upgrade kit as well.The Comptech set for the front of the CL/S features cross drilled cadmium plated rotors with billet aluminium hats.4 piston black "LOTUS" calipers all the hardware braided lines etc.These rotors are of a floating design to improve brake performance and feel.Jens
