Forgot to ask you this man... but with the rear BBK option do they have an option to move the e-brake onto the rotor? Drum e-brake delete?

That's why I'm asking.... I hope there's a solution to not only save weight in the process but but get a better e-brake by moving it to the caliper.

I know you've been wanting to run like a 20x10.5 in the rear. You can do it. There's room. To change things up a bit my new wheels that i'll be putting on for the new year is more aggressive and i'll be running 20x10.5 in the rear with a low offset. Thing is there ain't much info as far as aggressive wheel fitment to follow on the 4G so for me i have to keep pushing the envelope to see what works and what doesn't !!!
Good to hear man Ive got my eyes on a set that I am hoping to pull the trigger on real soon! Looking fwd to more pic and even more so, pics of your new set up

The Rotora rear BBK has its own hub in the rear rotor that is used for the ebrake. That setup that Rotora uses is far superior to the OEM ebrake setup.

My stock 18" don't clear...if you do a 4 piston caliper in the front it might clear...however the 6 piston front caliper is quite huge am sure you'll need a wheel spacer to clear those stock wheels. Rotora has all the dimensions on the various brake calipers available for the TL and they can help in what wheels will and will not clear.

Fyah, I didn't think your car could get any hotter. That is a show winner in my book. Heavily modded without looking cheap. Great job, keep up the good work.

^ Originally No. But what i did was changed the rears for more rim lip and went from a 20x9 to a 20x9.5 and 12mm more aggressive on the offset. Those changes added slight stretched to the rear tire...Therefore allowing to go lower and more aggressive.
Also note if you're lowered and plan on doing a 20x10.5 in the rear with anything close to an aggressive offset...you'll have to stretch tire for it to clear the fenders.

^ It's driven daily but if the weather is bad with heavy rain/snow etc. i prefer not to drive it.
Am into detailing cars so i keep it clean and I 've done several car shows.
Having the camber kit on the front and rear and the coilovers am able to adjust the car height and the wheels stance to my liking...just wish i could go lower on the coils but they are maxed out and I have no rubbing issues.
I have thought about going on air and might just pull the trigger so i can go lower and run more aggressive wheels. Not sure yet though if i want to go that route.
Are you planning on doing any more mods to your 4G? New wheels etc.

^^ hopefully a few mods in the spring time... i used to be heavy into the game, but priorities have shifted over the years. I will probably get a set of wheels for spring/summer 2012... then sell the car before the winter

Custom made 4G Acura TL Front Lip Spoiler

Currently working on a one-off front lip spoiler that wraps around the front bumper and angled similar to the front bumper.
Project will be painted and completed next week.
More pics to come of the finished lip but here's a sneak peak.
Simple and Smooth .
