I have a quick question im sure its possible but here goes: "Can we put the brembos on our (5at)" .. or has anyone done it yet and how much would it cost.. i think the black calipers look sweet!!

 

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.

 

To answer your question..yest you can. I'm sure given a lil time more companies will make upgrades for the TL.

 

thanks guys

 

you could always get the high performace brake pads that they offer for the 5AT... i knwo they arnt the brembos (as you want).... but just another option... $125

 

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.

 

lets see, you have to get new brakes, new rotors, new knuckles, new half shafts....

OR

buy a 6MT TL

OR

an after market BBK

 

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

 

Rotora is the best bang for the buck

 

Comptech already makes a Brembo kit for the TL

 

half shafts and knuckles arent needed. you need the brackets calipers and rotors..... if you were doing a brake job anyway new rotors should be used anyway so really only the brakets and calipers would be the big expense.

find a used donor car, or shop around for different kits that give you what you want.... brembo, rotara, wilwood, baer. im sure all have options

thanks again

 

really? hmm... I could have sworn there was a thread where we discussed this and looking at the part numbers between the 2 cars you needed new knuckles

 

yup, I thought so, the knuckles ARE different... different part numbers

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,

 

what reviews? i need details!!!!

 

i think it was a typo that has lingered on. the brembos have a shorter stopping distance(not by much). but the purpose of brig brakes is to provide consistant stopping distances over extended braking and not so much reducing stopping distance.

 

always hate to admit when im wrong... especially when i think im right.... but in this particular case, the stock hubs are different. as different part# are given....

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

otherwise

 

I don't know where you are getting your info from but belive me its dead wrong.

 

yeah don't know the difference, but meh you neve know.

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.
