Will 3rd Gen TL Brembo calipers fit our cars?

Reason I ask, I got offered a trade + cash for my 18" Volks. I'm not even sure they fit? Hope someone can set me straight.

TIA.

I would assume you would need the 3gen tl hub in order for it to work, but that is just assuming, you can find my NSX brake upgrade by doing a quick search.

Quick answer is no
Long answer is you could make them fit buying some more parts.
But at that point you may as well get a real BBK.

Everyone, thanks for the responses.

OD, I actually have your thread bookmarked, those calipers painted would look really good with my wheels.

I think you should try it if you can get the parts cheap. You may end up needing the spindle from the TL but it should work just fine. I think it has a different lower ball joint but that is cake to pop out and install the correct ball joint.

Looks like too much work. Like fuzzy said I might as well go BBK.

I am curious to know if it will work and no one has tried it but to be completely honest with you I agree with the other posters, you should just go get a proper BBK like the Rotora or Brembo etc... It will probably end up costing about the same or only a few hunded more and you wont have any head ache. In addition, you will probably need wheel spacers or larger wheels to clear the calipers on either a BBK or the ACURA BBK.
