Stoptech BBK Fit Under OEM 17s?
My front oem calipers have both seized up. Both OEM calipers will be costing me roughly $1k through any acura online store. There aren't any remanufactured OEMs listed.
So, I am looking at the Excelerate Performance Stoptech BBK which is just a little more. I am hoping someone here has the Stoptech installed and can answer whether they fit under the OEM 17in wheels. I have the OEMs with winter tires on them so I'm hoping the BBK will fit without clearance issues.

VTEC just kicked in, yo!
I really doubt it.
I have the Advics calipers from the Acura RL, and those just barely fit under the OEM 17s. Actually, I found that the wheel weights on my OEM 17s were grazing the caliper, so I had to get the tire shop to get thinner ones. As for the face of the RL calipers, they would hit the back of the OEM 17s as well. Non-issue with 15mm spacers.

Almost no chance they will fit under stock wheels. Check with stoptech.
What is wrong with your calipers? Can't you just buy known good ones on eBay if you're looking to stay OEM?
Or on Rockauto if you're willing to use aftermarket?
