In reference to this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/performance-parts-modifications-299/euroaccord-tourer-brakes-872618/




I've known all along the larger twin pot Euro/JDM front brake system was a direct bolt on the North American TSX. In fact the rear can be installed but, it is not worth the effort & cost due to the parking brake setup. The rear knuckle would need to be replaced to make it all work.


Here the fronts parts list & good luck, sourcing the parts at a reasonable price.


Parts:
45018-TL0-G50 Caliper
45019-TL0-G50 Caliper
45251-TL0-G51 Rotors
45022-TL0-G51 Pads **Semi-Metallic**




Optional items
45255-TL0-G50 Dust Shield ** Hub need to be removed to install this part**
45237-TL0-G51 Clip
45238-TL0-G51 Clip
01463-TL0G-50 SEAL AND GASKET KIT


So here's the fronts on my 2013 V6. It is an improvement over the single pot system that came on the car. However it does not have the initial grab as the single pat system.

 

Good ups. How much did the conversion cost you?

This seems like an easier route than the RL BBK upgrade.

 

does it come yellow like that? gnarly

 

I have some friends across each pond that helped me to keep the cost down. I'll add up my invoices & let you know soon. But yeah, I prefer this route over others. It will cost a little more but there is no guess work. Just swap bleed & drive.

 

Nice. questions

1. how much was it?
2. why is it in that color?

 

Well Dave, those colours appeals to some of us. I can tell you Brazilians & Jamaicans likes it. For me it was a matter of cant making up my mind between the two. So I choose both! They come unpainted from Akebono.

Something different! I'll post cost tomorrow.

 

Nice upgrade!

 

standard in our cu2
discs are 320mm front and 305mm rears

 

Here are the prices for the main parts.


Rotors $165.00 pair + shipping
Calipers $365.00 ea + shipping
Pads $60.00 + shipping


Like I said above, I had friends & family abroad that help me get them for these prices. Lings Honda would have cost me an arm & a leg. They wanted over $1000.00 for each caliper & $120.00 for each rotors.

 

Comparison between the two Pads.

 

Some of the calipers unpainted.

 

I recommend getting the parts indicated by the red arrows. This caliper & pad system is exclusive to this car only. No other vehicle in the Honda line up or elsewhere uses it. So buy spare parts if going this route.

Time to see what my buddies stationed in Japan can find for me!

 

if anyone needs parts from Australia i can help out and forward on

cu2 are popping around wreckers regularly now.

 

What is the Honda part number for the front pads in Aussie? Seem like the 45022-TL0-G51 Pads are geared towards the European market.




Also while you are offering help. What is the part number for the Euro badge on the rear of the CU2?

 

45022-TL0-G51 that is the part number for fronts in aus as well.
there is 45022-TL0-G51 but im not sure what is difference.

i use a aussie brand called qfm for pads so i never had to purchase oem brake pads.

euro badge not sure i got one in my garage but needs double sided tape, pay postage and its yours

 

USA Zip code is 30040. PM me paypal info.

#USAUCDM

 

Stilll its euro

 

That would be so cool!

 

Yes! If I was 24, young dumb & full of bullshit & goes by xtcnrice...

 

^I just lold

 

Was working on the inlaw's CRV front brakes this morning. I wonder how different the Euro CU2 calipers are vs. CRV calipers? Both are dual piston set ups.

 

They look very similar. I had notice that when I was sourcing pads for the Euro setup. If I remember correctly the CRV is non differential, both pistons are the same size.

 

hilarious! here's your Spirior badge for cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dongfeng-Honda-Chrome-Emblem-Badge-Acura-TSX-RSX-Civic-Accord-CRV-CRZ-Fit-Jazz-/221698547842?hash=item339e436082&vxp=mtr

 

Pretty cool. I might go this route

 

How would this compare to the TL's or RL brake conversion, cost and availability?

 

Can't say how it would compare. But against the stock North American OEM it is head & shoulders above it. I would have done the rears if not for the parking brake shoe design on the Euro version.
