is it possible to just buy parts from rotora from you such as the capiler later on? My friend wants to know this before he invests in a set? He wants to know this because he had some problems with a different company on his other car and it was a damaged capler. They did not have parts anymore and told him he needed to buy the entire kit again and doesn't want to have the same problem again. Also he wanted to know if he could use a Rotora rear kit and a stoptech front kit as stoptech does not have a rear one.

ROTORA has a tendency to have a forward brake bias like the stock setup, whereas Stoptech has a rearward bias. So yes they can work together but they develop their systems based on different theories. If you need either kit let me know. I sell both.
1. I have heard that rotora BBk's can cause the master cylinder to break or fail. Is this true?
2. Will any BBK cause premature wear onto the master cylinder?
3. Are there any spec sheets/data that shows the improvement of braking with a BBK?
4. I have factory brakes on my 04 and they are pretty "touchy" that if i tap them, the can bring the car to a halt. will this still occur with the BBK?
5. Does the installation of a BBK require a fluid change? I am due for one soon so it is well worth knowing now.
6. Does stopetech also have replacement parts?
7. What do you mean by forwards and rearwards bias? I get a little confused.
8. can stoptech/Rotora kits be painted by the manufacturer to a specific design (such as acura written instead of Rotora/Stoptech)?
Thanks

2. These kits are designed to work with the stock master cylinder.
3. You may email ROTORA for data on this but I don't have any sheets on this. I don't see how sheets could prove anything but I can give you real life experience and tell you that the ROTORA kits have plenty of leverage and will decrease stopping distances.
4. Yes.
5. Yes it requires you bleed the brakes. It may not be a full fluid change but I would recommend one while there.
6. I will have to ask Stoptech tomorrow about service parts but I would assume they would. It wouldn't make sense not to.
7. When you brake with a ROTORA BBK you will feel a front brake bias like you do with the OEM setup. When you brake with a Stoptech kit the car leans rearward and kind of squats.
8. You can get custom caliper colors but I assume we can just have nothing put on there and you could put on an Acura sticker. I will have to talk to both tomorrow to ask.

How much for the 2 piston rears shipped to FL for the 2000 tl with 2 piece rotor and can I get it in black? Can you get crossdrilled by itself or only slotted alone?
Whats the lead time on that?
