I have 07 Acura TL and I have heavy wobbling when I am braking. I figured out that brake rotors need to be resurfaced or replaced.from my reading on acurazine suggested me to go for new ones rather than replacing. In order to order new rotors off the internet I need to figure out what kind of calipers I have.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Assuming you drive a base 07...

having them resurfaced would be much cheaper. what is your mileage? If low I would resurface, I've seen many Honda/Acura rotors survive 100k+ with only a good lathing

I have about 51k miles on it.

If you have a base 07-08 than you have NON-BREMBO calipers...

BREMBO calipers only came with manual transmissions.

Also on the type S's too

Cheaper today. Not necessarily in the long run.

The base model rotor is thicker and may take a resurfacing better. Removing metal reduces mass which reduces heat dissipation which, in turn, can cause the rotor to warp again. In some cases fairly soon.

The TL-S has a pretty thin rotor and, imho, resurfacing is a complete waste of time and money (meager as it may be). In many cases the TL-S rotor can't be resurfaced without going below the service limit.

TL's seem to have front rotors more prone to warping than some other vehicles. One suggested cause or contributing factor is over-tight lug nuts. Spec is ~80 lb-ft. I subscribe to the theory that over-tight lug nuts increases the likelihood of warping your rotors.

^^^I agree with him, I never have my rotor resurface my rotor I just simply toss it out and replace it with a new one.


OP to clear thing up for you

04-06 TL AT use regular caliper

04-06 TL MT use Brembo caliper (Front only)

07-08 TL-S use Brembo caliper (Front only)

07-08 TL base use regular caliper
