Excelerate Performance is proud to announce a strategic partnership with STOPTECH in producing a Big Brake Kit for the 09+ TL. To make this BBK come closer to reality and production I am going to need 6 purchasers. We will also need a test-fitter in the So Cal so that we can produce the kit. Based on our experience and speaking with STOPTECH I'm thinking a 4-piston 355mm disc will be the best setup.

There will be a choice of red, black or silver calipers; drilled rotors will be $100 extra and zinc coating will be $70 extra. Anyone who purchases on the initial run will get the kit for $2195 shipped to the cont 48 US for the standard color/slotted rotor combination. We will need a 50% deposit up front for the BBK and 50% will be due when the parts are ready to ship.

So those of you who were on the list and who are ready to pull the trigger please re-confirm your name. We are ready to move forward with the R&D phase and I need to get names and deposits. Thanks.

 

Is $2195 for just the front? or front & rear? 1pc or 2pc rotors?

 

This is just the front BBK. It would be a 2 pc 355X32mm disc. List on this kit is going to be $2595, but we're offering this initial sale price. We can get a rear BBK made but it would be $3,000 plus due to the need for a dual set of calipers for braking and e-brake function.

 

i thought i was your test vehicle? am i being rejected??

Yes you are. Don't worry.

 

Sweet! Lolz

New to the Forum. Picked up my TL SH AWD 6spd HPT lastnight. I have read enough to throw myself at the opportunity for a BBK. I am in the San Diego area so if you need another test vehicle for whatever reason, be sure to think of me.

 

So the list thus far is:

1. FallenTSX
2. Roofy

 

I really hope some of this stuff gets produced, I cant afford some of this stuff this year!!

 

i guess we need people to chime in for this product so we can start the testing process

-DeL

 

has anyone considered swapping the front brakes from the RL? they are already 4 piston and can probably be had cheaper than re-inventing the wheel. With the right pads they are very strong.

 

i think the Stoptechs would look way better tho

 

^^ I don't know about that, they would probably look pretty similar.

 

you can always paint them

 

Once again, this is not a thread for BBK discussion. This is our sales thread in relation to producing a STOPTECH BBK. Please start a new thread.

 

One question,is the price so steep because its a brand new item that only a few people will have ahead of everyone else.

 

^^It's actually a pretty average price for a BBK.

 

as far as i know, this is not even a close straight swap process...you would need the spindles, knuckle, and fork...basically you need to change out the whole front suspension

-DeL

 

The price is so much because Stoptech is a quality brand. LG motorsports used them on their challenge corvettes and not too mention a ton of other race teams.

 

The price is really pretty reasonable. Even though this is a custom kit we're still only charging production prices (actually lower for this GB). I can lower the price about $400 if we want to use a smaller disc (13") but then it would only be a few tenths of an inch larger than the factory disc.

 

We need at least 5 people to proceed. We've got 2. There were much more on the other list; where are all the people?

 

Oh, if only I had the money for these... maybe in a year. I hope that others sign up for it because I want these available when I can actually buy them. I have a set of Wilwood BBK's on my Prelude and it's amazing. They are so worth it on a car that weighs almost 1000lbs less than the TL, so I can only image how awesome they'd be on a TL.

Don't lose hope in these guys Josh!

 

So let's verify this list. How many people are ready to get this Big Brake Kit made?

 

I don't know much on aftermarket modification. I hope someone can clarify for me. Do you need to calibrate the braking bias compensate/balance the front BBK setup? Will it confuse the EBD system?

 

1. FallenTSX
2. Roofy
3. jnc2000

 

We will also need a test-fitter in the So Cal so that we can produce the kit. Based on our experience and speaking with STOPTECH I'm thinking a 4-piston 355mm disc will be the best setup.

If we still have the first 3 committed and a tester we can move forward with this project.

 

I thought i was the test fitter...? i live in Hawthorne, CA and i think i remember saying i was like 15min or so away from the site

-DeL

 

Ok. That's good. Are you ready to bring in the vehicle and pay for the big brake kit? If so email me so we can set up some time to drop off the vehicle and do the R&D.

 

Josh,

I'm ready for deposit to get things rolling if needed.

 

Anything ever come of this josh? I'm starting to get an itch for more braking power.

 

If we can get 5 people we can still make this happen.

 

Count me in!

 

1. FallenTSX
2. Roofy
3. jnc2000
4. suros10

 

such an awesome mod. i hope it comes to fruition.

 

I am in...

 

1. FallenTSX
2. Roofy
3. jnc2000
4. suros10
5. ml0319

 

Are they lighter than the stockers?

 

I will have to weigh them once the BBK is complete. The discs are a 2 piece construction (iron disc ring and aluminum hub) and the calipers are forged aluminum so there are generally weight savings.

 

Hey josh is there a thread revival discount ?! I'm going to stick with option we talked about I've the phone; with new wheels on the way other mods are taking a back seat!

 

I'd like to get an idea if the original 3 people are still interested. The last 2 on the list are current but how about the first 3?
