Its more parts than just those- in the range of $1200 plus new rims to clear the calipers

If you want to go that route- there are better, 6 piston! calipers available from Wilwood
see vendor Excelerate

Your dealer or junkyard, I'll be honest with you, its not worth it. You will have to pay 1200+ dollars for the parts alone, then labor too. Here are a few options to reduce braking distance:
1. Upgrade rotors and Pads (RB slotted w/ A-Spec Pads) - about 650 with labor to install
2. Big-Brake Kit - Willwood sells the TSX one which fits the TL for about 1k
3. Big Brake Kit 2 - Rotora Big Brake Kit designed for the TL for about 1.2K, IMO it looks better and has better stopping power.

oem reliability, i would do the brembo's. just think about it, when it comes time to do a brake job or if anything stupid happned, you dont have to wait for parts. your dealer stocks them. but then again they are more money and more work. unless if you do it yourself, then the other aftermarket brands are much cheaper.
