It's like a $1500 part not including installation, do a search on the topic and you should get more info. Personally I'd just get a custom made big brake kit stoptech, rotora, or AEM for that much money. Probably go with stoptech, they make amazing brakes.

never stops!
If you just want it to look black, then you can just paint the calipres with calipre paint for just under $10. However, if you want performance then whatever people said above.

How about aftermarket Rotors? Who makes them for the TL?

The road test reviews I've read have shown shorter stopping distances for the 5AT brakes than for the Brembos. I believe the Brembos are probably better track brakes with more fade resistance but for a single panic stop I don't think you'll find any real benefit,

now what i would like to know what are the differences? i know that honda has different part #s for different oil filters even if the are the exact same filters (different manufacturing plants and location) so what are the differences in the manual to auto hubs anyone know?
also if you upgrade the brakes with a kit (brembo, stoptech, baer, wilwood, rotara or any others) im sure the kits are engineered around the current hubs so in that case the hubs would not need to be replaced

In any case, Comptech does have the Brembo BBK kit for the 5AT TL, it will only fit the 5AT TL (I checked) and it actually has slightly bigger rotors than the 6MT TL.
