Hi. Do you think this same system fit an '02 Honda Accord EX V6. Would like to know an estimate for the front brake system. Thanks.

PS - Felt kind of lazy searching to see if someone already answered this on previous pages.

Thats a pic of a Brembo 4 piston caliper and slotted rotor
Are you trying to fit that on the honda or just looking for rotors that fit your car?

The whole set would be nice. Looking into the 4 piston calipers itself.

I am only the gen2 TL brake guru, so Marcus would be the right person to ask on this
Send him an email direct at marcus@heeltoeauto.com
Look thru the rotors and bbk section of www.heeltoeauto.com
There are more items than he has listed so far=if you can find it somewhere- he can get it
Based on my knowledge of the TL:
The Brembo setup is a 1 inch larger diameter rotor and requires a larger wheel space clearance for the caliper as well- so rims matter there

gen 2 TL/CL can fit the 2 piston Legend calipers on stock wheels and rotors
Works really well for those needing new calipers- they are same price as regular TL single pistons

Thanks for the info. I just finished sending him an email hopefully I can get a detailed answer. I just wanted to know if those on the picture can fit on a '02 Honda Accord EX V6. Rim diameter is 18in. Offset is 45. So yeah. I would defitnely buy those if in stock.

They dont make an actual BBK with the Brembo and 2 piece rotor for you
You can get the good rotors and pads for it though
check here for your cars applications

Don't matter if it's a 2 piece or not. I've seen my 6th Gen Accords carry some of TL Brake Kits. It doesn't need to be necessarily the BBK from Brembo. Just the stock ones would do nice.

About to toss in a THIRD set of HPS pads in my mother-in-law's car with UP rotors. That is 3 years, 3 sets of pads, NO TURNING on the rotors. Never even touched them.

I am not sure on that. Racingbrake has to make a new mold for them. We may need to do a group buy later on.


It is faster to email or PM me, for future reference!

What was wrong with the old mold for these? Or did they just never make rears for the CL/TL?

Ill most likely upgrade to the 2 piece front with some eb300 pads all around and keep my Rotora rears

There was no old mold for them. They never made them.

That sounds like a good plan actually. Getting the RBs made would be tough. CL and TL are different, and they are both different than other rotors on other cars. Will be tough to get enough demand on them for production.

I'm driving an 04 TSX AT and I'm trying to get the awful shaking feeling from the stock TSX rotors to finally go away by replacing with a new set of rotors and pads. Already had the rotors turned and resurfaced about 10k ago but the problem is back. I have a few questions about doing this.
1) the shaking only seems to come from the front rotors so I most likely will only replace those (does anyone else agree with this?)
2) This is only for daily driving so which set of rotors and pads should I get out of all the one piece rotors
3) will I have to upgrade any of the stock brake components to install these new rotors and pads?

This is my first post to a thread ever and I've been reading forums all night so if this is somewhere else on the site.....sorry I just didn't have time to read all night after work.

1- Yes, this is a perfectly fine course of action. The rears are sold to compliment the looks of the front, but most braking happens in the front.

2-The 1 piece rotors and ET300 pads have been a consistently successful combination in reducing fade, improving braking, and resisting more shaking!

3- These parts are direct OEM replacement parts, so you won't need to change anything else to install them and enjoy benefits.

I have been running the 1 peice side slotted RB front rotors on my 01TL for about a year,
ET300 pads have been very good for steet driving, my wife drives the car a lot, and they are very impressive in the emergency freeway slowdown from 80 to 20~ or so she reports

I have put them thru some serious abuse compared to the average street driver, mountain fun runs type driving and they remain quiet and effective in daily driver use.
Would definetly tell a friend they are good to use!

For those who drive on the more aggreesive side of braking, go with the
ET500 pads,,designed for that type driving

How about 1/2 price install if you buy fronts and rears? I guess that only works if you are local though.

I just ordered my set from heeltoeauto.com today and am also buying the Tein SS coilovers from a fellow member here so we'll see how it works out. Mr. Marcus himself will be doing the installation for me I think . This time I'm taking my DSLR and take bunch of photos and post it up for everyone. Hopefully the set arrives by next Friday. If not, i'll have to wait another week to have them installed.

No they don't UP are not needed in the back. The braking in the rear is minimal and having a top line rotor back there is unnecessary. The HP have all the features you need.

OK, so I replaced my stock brakes with Heeltoe's Racing brake setup (Front & Rear) and replaced my suspension with the Tein ss coilover which I bought from fellow member over the weekend. Marcus was available on Friday so he did all the install work for me.
So far... I'M LOVING IT!!!
I'm still in the process of breaking the brakes in and I could already tell this was a huge improvement over stock.
I will post some pictures and my impression on them as soon as i get home.
btw, thanks Marcus!

Got mine installed last week. Rotors, ET300 pads, and SS brake lines all from Marcus. I broke them in that same day per the instructions I found here http://www.racingbrake.com/v/main/te...in%20procedure and the braking is much better than stock. Everything feels more linear and more confident although I did notice last night and today I was getting some squealing from them. It is not something I hear all the time but when i do hear it it is kind of loud. Is this common with the ET300 pads? I noticed there weren't any shims (I am guessing that is what they are called) packaged with these pads. Was I suppose to reuse the ones that were on the stock pads or do I just not use any with this setup? Also, I am getting a little bit of vibration when I brake along with some noise. Am I suppose to be feeling/hearing that due to the grooves in the rotors?

Other than the questions I have above, the brakes do a noticeably better job right off the bat and they have gotten better as I have been using them more. I used to avoid braking but now I actually kinda like it.

You may just need to put a few more miles on them to completely bed them in. How much smoke were you getting after you bedded them in?

Smoke?! I never noticed any Marcus. I don't remember reading anywhere anything about any smoke so I wasn't looking out for it. I was just keeping my eyes on the road and making sure nobody was behind me while I was breaking it in. My wheels were already dirty and they are a tad dirtier. I noticed the screech noise coming from my brakes again tonight though. It is only when I am almost fully stopped. I haven't heard anything extended although it is loud enough to notice. Any fix for this?

Then you probably were not braking hard enough to really bed the brakes in.

This procedure may require irresponsible driving to get it right I suggest doing it on empty roads.

Ya know what, I like your bed-in directions a lot better. They are more detailed and thats what I was looking for with the Racingbrake site. I don't know how I missed them. After looking at your directions, it looks like I babied it compared to what I should have been doing. Looks like this Saturday will be a day of smoke infested wheel wells! Thanks again for an awesome product! I thought about pm-ing you all this but I figured I am probably not the only one that has/will have this issue.
