stoptech sportstop slotted and drilled rotors....front and rear with their brand of pads


gettin em put on tommorow...was tired of the rusted rear hub look and I like the look of the drilled rotors kinda like benzos...will take more pics tommorow if i get a chance after pickup.

 

so I got the fronts installed no problems but the rears were the wrong size?


could anyone get me the stock dimensions for the OEM rotor? I'd really appreciate it.

The rotors they sent me are probably for an 04-08 TSX for the rear I have the dimensions for the new rotors they want to send me but I dont know how to measure etc im not a mechanic.

The dimensions for the rear rotor they want to send me are as follows

OUTER DIA: 281.6 mm
Height: 48.8 mm
Nom Thick: 9.00 mm
Min Thick: 8.00 mm
Hub Reg: 64.1 mm
Bolt Size 12.6 mm
Bolt Circle: 5 x 114.1 mm
Weight: 8.80 Lbs

i mean the stock should be the same right because these rotors work with the OEM calipers?

 

Wow that looks like a huge improvement over stock! it looks freaking nice as hell too!! Im impressed, nice work man. Keep us posted on the rears

 

Nice!

 

That seems right specs for rear rotor .
This site is nice as has spec dimensions

PS 09 TSX shares same rotor as 08+ Accords EX too .

 

I had the same issue when I got my slotted rotors the rears were too small, just sent em back and they sent me the right size Now I'm a happy camper

 

looks great! im jealouss.

 

Hey, did your OZ wheels require spacers? Or is the hub 64.1mm? I am considering OZ wheels and Ronjons. I really like the Ronjons, but the OZ are a lot lighter, just don't want to have to use spacers though.

 

thanks guys i think theyre gonna be sick on the back with no rust lol ...nope no spacers the wheels are +48 offset they are the allegeritas got em from tirerack. Tish I was gonna actually send you a message I was wondering if you could get the size for your rear rotors? kief thanks for the heads up welcome to the forums!

 

also: the other problem was the pads they sent me were too small these are the pads they want to exchange them with


are these also the correct pads?

 

looks great - what did they set you back?

 

shittt after all said and done its gonna be like 500 for rotors + pads and 300+ for installation so ya...thats my one pay project im doin this year lol hopefully these rotors and pads at least in the rear last more than 20k miles!!!!!!!

 

don't pay someone to install them.. Its like an hours worth of work with tools you have around your house

 

yeah I dont have the right tools I don't think and Im not comfortable doing work on the brakes...does anyone know if those pads I posted above will work in the rear?

 

all you need is a socket wrench and a jack, lol I wasn't comfortable either til i saw how easy it was

 

The hardest part will probably remove the 2 Philips screws , to remove rotor. The pads and caliper bracket are only 2 bolts as posted above .

 

Im confused... my manual says that my rotors are 320mm front and 305 mm rear...

 

right front is 11.8" and back's are 11.1 " . That goes for TSX and Accord's , so 300mm on front and 282mm approx on rear's .

You can check Acura TSX spec's on there site .

 

It would be nice if someone could post a step-by-step pictorial of replacing the rotors. I've done it on other cars before, but I guess I'm a little leary of doing it on my TSX. I would like to though and seeing it done first should help seal the deal. I would rather not pay the extra $200 to have someone else do it.

 

Sorry, let me re-phrase my question, LOL. Did you have to use hub rings for your wheels, since I'm guessing the hub diameter on the wheel is larger than 64.1mm?

 

It's super easy. I'd be more than happy to lend a hand of you'd like since I live not far from you. Just drop me a PM or something some time.

I'll do it for a case of beer.

 

Thanks for the offer. I'll take you up on that. It might be a little while before I do it (way too much going on right now). What kind of beer you like?

 

I normally drink Michelob Ultra when at home, however I like many other beers. Just make sure it's bottles and not cans...for some reason I hate drinking out of beer cans and avoid it if pissible.

 

No problem. I feel the same way, no cans for me. I only drink bottled beer (usually Sam Adams or Leinenkugels (sp?)).

 

So we have bigger rotors in Euro Accord then in US TSX, 300 and 285 we have in 2.0L engine version, I dont think its avaiable in US. I have 2.4L and 320 / 305 on mine. Im curious what size is in TSX V6.

 

Brakes are same size on the V6 model according to Acura.com, even though it weighs 200 LB or so more than the 4-cylinder.

 

Omg... thats so sad...

 

You should all just upgrade to a big brake kit.

 

is the Braking that much better? than normal rotors?

 

True... true...

 

Thats a loaded question , it depends on how the vehicle will be used . IMO for normal street use first try some 3rd party pads if your issue is stocks fade quick .
That should help a lot as Honda/Acura have been reformulating revisions with these platform .

 

I didn't have to put any kind of spacer or anything for the wheels, I can go from stock to black wheels with nothing. The braking does feel a little better...a big brake kit is what lke 3,000? thats alotta dough and this car will never be on a track..unless someone knows a good one near NY lol...

 

patcracks, I like your setup.

Regarding BBK, if you want Brembo then it is around $3K, but DerwoodEE's Rotora kit is about half the price ~ $1600-$1800. Still a lot of dough which is why I will probably do the same (drilled/slotted rotors and some EBC green pads) in the near future as I have over 33K miles or 52K km on my car now.

 

Rotors look good! Waiting on a set I oreder, going to paint my calipers in the process.

 

LOL Derwood when they come out with bbk for front and rear, i'll get em. I don't want just the fronts though.

 

For those of you that wants BBK @ a cheaper price.

this particular set fits 04-07 tsx, since the front brakes are the same, i'm pretty positive these will fit our car also.

 

rotors and pads....cost with shipping?

 

Meh, BBK in the rear isn't nearly as benefitial as the front.

 

5 bills 04tl....still waiting on rears.....fml

 

finnaly got the rears on pics gonna come later this week they look dope
