good luck! Let me know how that works out for ya!

csmeance

you are going to need to spend some $$$ to do that:
1. By only doing the rear you will upset the braking bias and can injure yourself in emergency situations.

2. you won't have a parking-brake left

To do it properly you will need to get:

Front Big-Brake Kit
Rear Big-Brake kit

I would suggest you use the same manuf. as they keep the bias the same during product development.

Are you looking for more stopping power or looks?
If looks for 30 bux you can buy plastic covers that go on the rear brakes for true

lol, basically its not worth it imo but its good the info to do it is there i guess. gl

EVOLICARUS

damm!! sounds like its not worth it.. i was going for maximum stopping power.. (then looks) i just hate how the front bbk looks great then you have the wimpy rears..

csmeance

If you want max stopping power, you will want to do this:

Retrofit the RL's Rotora BBK, 15 Inches, 8 Pot for the fronts, and get a TL Rear BBK. This should be enough to make your face hurt.

lol just paint the rears black and get acura decals on them..

this guy will customize it for you... black with the "acura" for the rear .... funny but some guys are into that... I might do it

you need to have to spend $$

Get the Rotora 4-pot rear BBK, paint them gloss black and slap on some Acura stickers and....done...

You only gain more braking surface area w/ a bbk (front or rear) you DO NOT change the bias between front and rear...

I have a front 4-pot and a rear 2-pot setup..no problems what-so-ever!!!!
Stops on a dime thought..

UH cs: you still keep the factory emergency brake...and mixing the manufacturer between bbk's will not matter...

csmeance

My mistake on the e-brake, but as far as the bias, I know stoptech designs their BBK's around a different bias than the stock ones, so if you mix stoptech and rotora, you might get some unexpected results, also here is a pic of the RL BBK:
This is Ambiguous626 RL


for perspective:

Duplicolor black caliper paint kit-$10--makes rears look like fronts
Works for other cars too- stealthy brakes or matched color

how much for real Brembo cost?

Distorted Reality

HAHA thats crazy. Bet stopping power would be incrediable.

YOW those Varianzas with that black chrome on that RL looks nice!

Adobeman

Is this good enough ? Just to plain old stock ones but at least they match a bit better.
Disassembled brakes, used G2 paint, reassembled and put on decal.
The decal's the tough part. You will need to find someone to make one the right size. The guy that did mine is long booted from ebay.

yo those wheels are HOT on the RL; im considering those haha

haha those caliper covers.....but all laughing aside it looks like they REALLY upgraded the looks of those covers to look like the latest Brembo BBKs. It really does look real this time, the ones that have been out there for awhile looked positively like cheap fake plastic crap, but not these. Don't laugh but I almost feel like trying them now to see what they look like. I am sure it is a sure way to get flamed by this forum for cheapening my car with Ebay parts but it looks convincing. I was going to paint my calipers but maybe this is a better way to get the calipers noticed with less maintenence. And the black looks good. (OMG I can't believe I am taking this seriously)

Personally I am pretty satisfied with the TL's braking ability. I would want a BBK just for it's looks but that's not cost effective of course. The width of our front brakes looks bigger but otherwise they may work, lol.

I was searching sort of like to the op... but then I began to see these things have upgraded their cheapness... they now have a 6spot glue on front with a mini rear heheheheh
