I have a brembo 4 pot GT2 big brake kit on my car with a stock setup on the rear. Looking to upgrade the rears to better than oem performance and looks. Research netted me that brembo does not make a rear kit. Rotera does but i believe you have to buy the 4 corner package.

Can i upgrade the rear caliper to anything other than stock, Any aftermarket options or a better than oem replacement?
Maybe a from another car ie...350z, factory brembo car?

Oh and i would like to retain the e-brake as well

Found these

Says performance but they look like rebuild stock ones that were powdercoated.

Lol it's says in the description they are remanufactured, which essentially means rebuilt.

I never thought the CL had brake problems, mine breaks like a beast

Ya those look oem. I remember the rotora rear BBK but I thought it was discontinued. I haven't heard of any other rear BBK that I can think of on here.

The cl does not have brake problems, especially the rear, since the front does over 80% of the braking.

He does not want upgraded rear calipers for performance. He is like most people on this site who upgrade brakes just for looks.

You can paint/powdercoat the oem rear calipers, or do what all the silly 3g tl owners do and put fake caliper covers on.

I hate those caliper covers with a passion, but ppl on this site seem to love them.

Fake is for ricers

You are right in the aspect that i would like the rear to match the front more. When you look at the rears compared to the giant front rotors they almost look pathetic

However the performance part of it is important as well, in lue of an up and coming turbo install in the foreseeable future (Thanks ccb717cls). Increasing the performance even a little is worth it even if it's only 20% The gt35r is going to need all the help it can get


AND YES I TOTALY AGREE

Caliper covers are

rotora can still get you a rear kit. They offered me one for $2200 on my 2000 accord but I would lose my e brake :/

Has anyone looked into Willwood Brakes? I have a 2008 TL Type-S and I am definitely considering the same.

Make an adapter plate and get one like the ones guys with BBKs on their NSX's (and other cars) use. Its a separate brake caliper just for the parking brake.

my mtb probably has a larger diameter HAHAA

upgrade to slotted/drilled rotors for the rear and call it a day. Pointless to spend the money to upgrade rear calipers per Brian's comments.

i have had my rear slotted rotors glowing red after a session at a track (had the front pads on fire). Im working on larger rears for mine.

Funny thing is when i bought the car i was offered the front and rear rotera kit but since i was told i would loose the rear ebrake and i already had the brembo's i declined

Looking back i should of bought the kit just for the rears im kicking myself in the head now lol

I did read somewhere that some rear bbk's have ebrake capability but i didn't know that an adapter plate existed thanks fsttyms1!

Kinda of an old thread but I believe NVA-AV6 makes brackets for the rears and uses the pilot/ridgeline rear calipers/rotors. Something like that but anyhow it's an upgrade.
