I was looking at a new RL the other day while walking to my car and i saw that the RL has the closed piston caliper (i'm not sure if it is 2 or 4 piston???)
And i was wondering if the calipers for the RL will fit on our rotors i'm sure you would have to do some modification but i think it would be worth it because they would really increase brake performance without having to spend the money to buy a BBK

 

they will cost you as much if not more than a BBK, not worth it

 

"Closed piston caliper"???

 

Just get a BBK if you are willing to spend the amount of money and time to custom fit the RL caliper onto the CL.

 

A caliper with pistons on both sides 2 on one side and 2 on the other therefore creating a closed caliper

 

4 piston fixed caliper, instead of floating single piston caliper

too much work involved, installation is different and requires too much development, you are better off with Excelerate's Rotora BBK bolt-on kits.

oem single piston caliper bolts are installed from engine bay screwing towards wheel, RL calipers bolts are installed from front to rear (from front of caliper towards the knuckle/hub).
CL bolts install are perpendicular compared to RL bolts install

 

how much do those things run?
the ROTORA BBKs ?


thanks

dont nsx calipers also fit?

 

^^^ Everytime you post I think you are making a joke because of your avatar, even though you are clearly asking a serious question HA HA

 

hhahaa...i loved those cartoons, you have no idea what i went through to 1. remember the friggin cartoon, 2. remember the dogs name and 3. find an avatar! haha im keepin it forever!

 

Good ol' Mutley.

 

I wish they fit. Besides it obviously being a bigger caliper, that little extra detail of having Acura Egraved into the caliper would be nice.

 

Thats why i want them... i love the fact that they say ACURA on them plus i love the color thats one reason that i dont want a BBK the Rotoras only come in red or blue and i dont like either colors

Hey how about the 04-05 TL 6spd Brembo's????? The rotors are closer to our size

 

don't legend calipers also say acura on them?

 

no i don't think so, but the NSX one's say NSX on them

 

Yea this has been discussed millions of time before you should search and I dont think anyone with a CLs has put them on to much work and almost impossible correct me if im wrong.

 

Just paint 'Acura' on them and be done and save 3 grand.

 

Does anyone have pictures of how the 2 calipers mount to the hub?

Pending any clearance issues, it's quite likely that you'd be able to get some adaptor brackets fabbed at a machine shop for around $150 if you bring them in a CAD file.

 

Bad thing is, IF you did fab the adapters up, you'd be looking at $800 in calipers alone. Wonder how this breaks down with other BBK's. If it's comparable (assuming it's even doable) then I say why not. I'm not willing to pioneer this one though. Even if then, I'd still wonder about performance and reliability. All things to consider. Who will be the brave soul to take on this seemingly impossible task?

 

If you bought the calipers new...but not if you get 'em from the junkyard.

Granted, the new RL is probably hard to find in the boneyard right now, but give it a few years.

 

In a few years we won't care be so concerned with this mod.

 

Just do the legend caliper Swap with some decent slotted/drilled rotors (whatever your prefer) . You will be satisfied, just watch your ABS sensors when you do it.......

If money is a concern check these out. I did the Legend swap with a set of these:
