hello i just got a tl type s and i noticed that the front brakes are brembo and the rear arent the hell?? do they sell brembo brake calipers for tl type s for all four wheels?

 

Thats normal and no to your question. The only thing you can do is upgrade to bbk. However its not like you need either of the for the rear since our cars are FF

 

looks wierd though, nice looking calipers in front and the rears are normal i quess ill get the rear painted black and put an acura sticker on them.

 

Rdx rear brake calipers cover is another option.

RDX covers!!

 

what do u guys think about this black and gold in the rear

do you know what the font is on the acura logo on the front brake caliper? i rather get it painted.

 

Honestly dude there is no need to upgrade the rears unless you are trying to track (though it seems you only want it for cosmetics purposes). Just get the rdx caliper covers and call it a day.

 

LP, a trend is to use the RDX caliper covers. I found some Brembo covers on EBAY, which match the look of the front calipers.

 

Those RDX cover do look really clean.

 

ewwwwwwwwwwww at black and gold....

the front is pretty.
the rear is okay.
then you want to mess it up by putting gold!? ewwwwwwwwww


paint the rears black and be done!

 

Do the RDX covers clip/screw/bolt on somehow? Or do they need to be epoxied(sp?) on like I've seen done with the Brembo caliper covers?

 

^they need to be glued/epoxied

 

Well....let's say they need to be RTVed.

 

if you look on this thread https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=880498&page=2 some pic from our last acurazine meet i have the cbp 3g type s i painted my calipers gold . just paint it the way you want and match you car and you be good .

 

Since were all here already, one more question for you guys. Since they are glued on, do they need to be removed when swapping pads? If so, whats the plan when the time comes?

 

thats not what we were talking about.
your car looks great btw!

 

OP, i got some rear brembo covers off eBay for like $10 and just painted them white to match my front brembos. they have the same shape as the fronts and i think they flow better than the RDX ones do IMO.

What are you talking about?



























Kinda liked the trans-am though

Damn I really wish I could have taken that picture of a last gen Camero SS painted chrome, dark tint, blackout head/tail/sidemarkers, black wheels.

 

Your car is pure sex, however the brembo calipers you got for the rears are 4 pot which is unrealistic. I went with the single piston which look alot better. I also do love the large size of yours though

 

^you're right. your fake brembo covers are more genuine and realistic than my fake brembo covers.

yours do look better too. everything about it. picture quality, filthy car, random color choice, it all looks far superior to mine.

great job!

 

^why you mad doe?
lol

 

^i aint mad. i was agreeing with him!

 

Dat condensending compliment, lol. But he loves your large size doe

 

 

Looks like an AWD TL with massive Brembo brakes all around.

 

Any issues swapping pads with these covers "glued on"?

 

^nope, mine are attached to the guide rail.

 

Sweet, thanks for the info, time to cover those ugly bastards up.

 

Where did you get those rear caliper covers? and for how much?

 

Holy Thread bump
