Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows a good place for a caliper and drilled and slotted rotors for an 05 tl with a 6 speed manual trans, theres a lot out for Automatics but i dont see much for manuals

 

Not sure why you need a new caliper? Is it seized up? We have vendors here that can help you find exactly what you're looking for. Here are a few of the vendors:

the bottom bolt is half way stuck while i was trying to take it off, im gonna try to heat it up but i was just wondering if anyone had a link so i could get some prices

 

rotors/pads = BRAKEMOTIVE

 

I'm assuming you're talking about the front caliper. If so, you've stripped the caliper threads. Happened twice to me; one hole on each caliper at different times. They're aluminum and don't mix with steel bolts. Acura should've put steel sleeves in the holes.

Regardless, you need to tap the stripped hole and install a new bolt. Be sure to use anti-seize on all four bolts.

 

 

any idea what that thread size is so i can get a tap, im sure its an odd size

 

also was wondering, because my car is a 6 speed does it use the same pads/rotors/calipers as the TL-S? i know they are different from the TL w/AT just want to be sure i get the right parts

 

Do a search, someone here has already tapped it. Don't remember who.

You're welcome

 

OP, just curious. Did you use an impact wrench to remove the bolts?

Highly recommend not using impact/air wrench for these bolts.

and one more link (this one for heli-coil)

no i used a 1/2 inch ratchet thanks for the info

 

make sure you go out and buy a 1 foot long metal pipe that should give you enough torque to unbolt it.

 

Here's a link to our drilled and slotted brake package.

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-338784.aspx

The packages include Powerslot/STOPTECH performance rotors and STOPTECH Performance pads. All of the rotors have a black e-coating on the hubs and vanes and an advanced alloy composition. The Powerslot slotted rotors for the front of most Acuras also have a Power Alloy composition and a curved vane construction, which helps reduce heat in the brake system. The STOPTECH Performance pads are a para-aramid compound, which has great initial bite and long-term performance and lower dust and noise than most aftermarket brake pads.
