Hi and welcome to the forums, acurazine is filled with tons of info, so it's good to search.

If you have a 6sp manual TL, it comes equipped with the brembo brakes. If not, to upgrade to the FACTORY brembo brakes are around 2-3K. There are other options such as Big Brake kits, I advise you check out the modifications thread that is stickied to the top of the page for more info.

OR

Are you looking for Brembo blanks (rotors) for the 5AT?

yes- a little more info would help- especially which transmission,, as the 6 speed manual gets the brembo 4 piston calipers and 12 inch rotors
while the auto gets single piston caliper and 11 inch
(it may be 13 and 12)

There are a few good options on rotors and pads depending on how you drive

My tl is 5at. I was looking for the brembo sport high performance braking system, which features racing inspired cross drilled or slotted rotors(never drilled and slotted) i was also looking for the brembo calipers to replace the factor ones.

Excelerate will tell you to use the 6 piston WilWood calipers if you are going to spend the money
It will require some steering parts being changed to fit larger rotors and caliper space

for basic better braking talk to excelerate about Rotora parts and also to MrHeelToe for RacingBrake parts on rotors and pads
see Off Topic Link-top of azine page- then scroll to Sponsored Sales for their ads/threads and link to websites
SS brake lines are a nice upgrade too

AFAIK, there is no bolt-up Brembo system for the AT (non-Type S).

As mentioned your options are After market BBK (Rotora, etc), After Market OE replacments/upgrades (Rotora, Racing Brake, etc Rotors/Pads) or OE knuckle, etc replacemtns to mount the MT/TL-S Brembo calipers, then find some Brembo Drilled or Slotted rotors.
