Would love to read more on this. Can you post pics of required notching?I'm only chiming in cause i just did the TSX caliper swap and ran into a problem.
SO,
MDWalsh, did you have to trim the cowl pretty hard to fit the TL-S master cylinder? Mine would not fit without serious modification to the frame cross brace under the cowl.
Also you can find a new Dorman TL-S master cylinder on amazon for about $70 that will bolt right up to the brake booster. Just get on there and search brake master cylinder and then input a 2008 TL-S and filter results. I'd put the link but they expire on there every so often. Just match numbers and you should be good.
Also, Walsh, I've been reading your threads and can appreciate the work you put into making this swap more well known and easier to complete. Not trying to bust your chops but the brace notch ain't a small thing.
OMG it is brakes not break. :facepalm:TL-S kit breakdown... so basically you need:
TLS rotors, calipers/pads, breaklines (preferably ss), and brake master cylinder right? And on oem wheels you'd need at LEAST a 15mm spacer?
Really interested because i plan on doing my breaks after winter so instead of going stock parts, i might as well do a lil upgrade. Thanks in advance
Haven't tracked my personal car with Stoptechs but just by pedal feel, there is a world of difference. Stoptechs blow the Brembos out of the water. The Stoptechs are very solid. Also with the entire caliper and threads hard anodized (vs naked aluminum Brembos) I don't worry about stripping the bleeders or any other bolts. Everything is just more solid with these. If you're a street guy, the Brembos are just fine.how do you like the difference between the brembos and stoptech?
Goodridge SS Lines. RBF 600. HP+ pads and DTC 60 pads. 2" Brake ducts. Autozone blank rotors. TL-S BMC. 235/45/17 Bridgestone RE11AsI'll be installing mine this spring. Figured I'd get one more year out of the setup I have rather than throwing away Ht-10's. You don't have the parts availability at a moments notice for the Stoptechs only reason I'm going with the TL-S Brembo's. They both make very nice brake parts. Do you mind me asking what your setup was when you were cooking your Brembo's? I've only had Issues with my stock size brakes once and it was 100 degrees out. Ht-10's front, Blues rear, DBA 4000 series rotors, RBF 660, Russell SS Lines.

which model stoptech did you end up buying? i love my brembos but its time to upgrade for the upcoming 2015 season.
Hey man am actually in Houston and planning on ordering this next week. Mind if I do a test?Yes, they need a lot of wheel clearance, they are quite wide.
If anyone is in Houston I'd be happy to let you try your wheel out on my car.

What wheels specs are these? and did you need to run a spacer to fit the brakes?
