I think someone try on a TL and it does not fit. There is something different.

 

thats someones tl here is the link to their page can he or anyone who has it comment on it and the install?

I did a search earlier and found that the tl brake rotors are 11.8" and the accord's are 11.1", the AEM OEM brake kit rotor is 12.4". You would definitely need to use a bracket to extend the TL caliper further out. If you look at the pic you posted, there's quite a lot of un used rotor area used (silver area vs. yellow area). It's probably because that person used the bracket for the accord. If you want to maximize the brake area, you would need to shorten the bracket to match the different spacing from the tl to the accord... I hope this helps.

 

That is just the rotors. The whole point of the big brake kit is pretty much eliminated. Like thescoundrel said, you are only using about 3/4 of the rotors, and still using the stock 1-piston calipers. What did he do with the 4-piston calipers or did he just buy the rotors?

 

the aem big brake kit is not the full blown caliper kits like brembo...its suppose to help stopping distance by giving the stock caliper more leverage when stoping....the reason why the stock caliper doesnt fully wear down the aem rotor is because the stock caliper is moves away from the center so much to fit in the new aem rotor....although only parts of the rotor wear the brake is improved and the rotor look phat.....thanks for your input guys

 

you're totally correct alittle braket work and he'd have even better contact with the rotor surface....it does look great...but from 11.8 to 12.4 for 400$ not sure on that one....the looks alone almost sell me...he should paint his caliper blue or black....the good news is at 12.4 i think stock wheel size wouldnt be a problem...maybe even 13 would work...i'd be all over it for 13's...hey i just had an idea...if we got the backet for the AV6 and a 13 o.em rotor that would work perfect....the investigation begins

 

Sorry for the misconfusion

you are talking about the AEM "O.E. Caliper Big Rotor Brake Kit"

I was talking about the AEM "Four Piston Caliper Big Rotor Brake Kit"

ooopps.

 

yeah i think it was partial my fault i just mean the aem brakes rotors with the cool looking blue hat...well anyways any updates from those who have it...? is it a perfect fit or do you need to tinker around with it more?
