Brembo '04 on '03 TL-S?
On edmunds.com is states that the A-Spec package will add Brembo front brakes to the front end of the '04 TL, even on the automatic tranny.
"Cars that get the A-SPEC treatment will be fitted with high-performance springs and shocks that lower the car about an inch, 18-inch wheels with 235/40ZR18 Yokohama tires, an aero body kit, a rear spoiler, a sport steering wheel and special exterior badging. Automatic-equipped TLs also pick up the front Brembo brakes"
Does anyone know if these brembo's will fit on the '03 TL-S so that I can replace my crappy stock rotors and pads with the new Acura Brembo's?
Any info is appreciated.

Well how much would I be looking to pay for simply 2 front Brembo cross drilled rotors, and the pads.
I don't care for the calipers or anything, I can simply paint my calipers in a Red or Blue and make them look like the brembo's...
will i see that much of a difference b/w the brembo calipers and stock calipers???
I still can't believe acura is leaving their crappy stock rotors on the back...don't they get it that the '03 brakes are horrible...fix them already, and fix the f*cking tranny problem....and unfortunately the list could go on about what else they need to fix.

The car has Electronic Brake Force Distribution now and some other components. The same rules will not apply to the new TL.
As far as the tranny problem, the car hasn't even hit the street yet. How do you know it has a tranny problem? Don't you think they would redesign/revise the tranny on a redesigned car?
Pay a visit to hondanews.com and read the Technical section on the '04 TL. If you don't like what they've done with the car contact the Acura engineers and voice your complaints.

The fact is, I think acura has lost a **** load of customers to this tranny problem, cause I know personally, I sure as hell am reconsidering trading mine in for another. Why bother if I'm going to be back at square one?
I see no point in this.

If they really f*cking cared about their customers, they would have replaced the trannies with something more durable. All they're doing by replacing your tranny over and over is prolonging the inevitable until something else stops the car from function...forever.

As Ken Said:
Yes, its totally different. How do I know? Because it involves drive-by-wire, requiring it to be totally redesigned, with new programming and it has all 5 gears available. The 6 speed manual is an improvement on the CL type S and Accord 6 speed.
