I tried doing a quick search on this topic, but came up with no definite answers. Do the front OEM Brembo Acura TL Type-S calipers fit on a TSX? Any help with this topic will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

they will fit with some customizing. but no, they are not a direct fit. you will have to get a bracket to work with the TSX hub and the TL caliper, and find a rotor to fit as well. its alot of work.

Thanks for the info

Do you know of anyone who has done the swap? I assumed they would require a special bracket

I would really like to do the conversion...but I'm trying to gather as much info on what exactly I need before I go for it.

ANYONE?

I was quoted an insanely high amount for having the mounting brackets made to put the 07 RL calipers on a TSX....IMO its not worth it. In addition, the TL-S calipers are good....but they aren't THAT good. Save yourself the headache and get the spoons as they are made by manufactures who work closely with the OEM manufactures of honda calipers.

Yes its fit. But if you wanna fit it bolt on, you should change front rotors from s2000.
It has 300mm, but 25mm (you should on 23mm change rotors) thickness.
TSeX has 300mm and 28mm/25mm thickness
TL Types has a 310mm rotors/25-23mm thickness.

If you try type-s calipers put at TSX or TL rotors - change rims with more offset (+35 or +30 lol).

Its not right way http://tsxclub.com/forums/1st-gen-su...my-brakes.html i think, but its work.

why would you want to "rig" your car to fit those calipers on....that guy has spacers to position the rotor in the correct place......he also drilled out a portion to make the caliper "fit" Once again, why would you do this when you can get spoon calipers which are better (the brembos are mass production, mediocre calipers), and not have to worry about placement or possible failure. FYI, if you want more stopping power, upgrade your pads to some Hawks or some other high end pad....its a night and day difference i can assure you. Im all for innovation....but i wouldn't be drilling or running spacers on brakes AT ALL, its the MOST important part of your car period. Save up some extra money and get something designed and tested for your car......BUT you don't have to listen to me.... To each their own i suppose.
