PICS of a TL with AEM big brake kit...how did he do this??
Apparently if they fit a TL, they should fit a CL. As far as I know AEM doesn't make a big brake kit for the TL. Anyone know this guy or know how he did this? Thanks.

especially any OEM size rotor since the RSX rotors are smaller then our stocks.

those ARE NOT BIG brakes...
they are stock size, vented, and cross drilled rotors with stock calipers...

would 20x8.5's fit out cars? i didnt think they would but if they can be put on a TL then they must be do-able for the CL. and have any of you heard of the company that makes them, HP Racing. are they quality rims?

I just noticed he said those are 20s...they really don't like it, but I'll take his word for it. Anyhow, when I was at SEMA I spoke with a rep from AEM about our brakes. He mentioned that the rotors from a RSX will fit ours, but they had to make different brackets. They had planned to get this done, but not for a couple more months. Does anyone know if the Accord V6 brakes will fit? I don't necessarly care if they're bigger, I just want something nicer looking. I'd LOVE the Brembo brakes, but my pockets aren't that deep.

Importcult owns the car. This quote is from the tlforum by importcult...
The kit for the brakes was a simple install, contrary to what AEM said. I dropped it off at my local action-gator tire, so they could do it on the lift, and he had me in and out in about 1 hour tops. The rear come in this week, so I should get that done, with any luck on the weekend, so I can't say what kind of work is involved there. But, as a hook-up I paid $50 install, and the only modification they did was to bend the back plate that protects the factory disk-brakes about 26 degrees back, to avoid hitting the new 13.5" rotors. The kit is used was from a '98-'00 Honda Accord V6. BTW...I can get these at a discount, if anyone is interested.... drop me a line.
