This is awesome man, subscribed! Everytime I see this kind of stuff I know I'm never gonna get rid of the accord because its got to much history with me, just keep it and turn it into a project car, I do like the idea of oem brakes like this over a cheap bbk.

So I guess the RSX spoiler project is on hold now? lol

subscribed.

haha yea. thats one of my flaws, i get so overexcited about new projects that i forget to finish the ones i still have going. but dont worry, they'll both get done.

nice! do you know how these compare to the 3rd gen tl type-s calipers?

not sure, the TLS calipers are Brembos i think which cost a lot more.

Nice, I'm subscribed. I'm planning on doing this in the future. As for the clearance, what's the offset on the TL-S wheels? Will most OEM 17's from Honda clear it?

RL calipers are Aisin units, whereas 3G TL-S (and all 6spd TLs) have 2-piston Brembos.

Not sure anyones been able to really to a fair side-by-side comparison of the two units. But they both improve braking tremendously.

Vimal, your plans look good! Best of luck. And I don't think too many Honda 17's will clear either. Obviously the TL-S waffles will. And the 18" TL A-specs. The 17" RSX's won't, IIRC.
