Performance Rotors

Excelerate · 11-19-2008, 12:52 PM

When I was at SEMA a couple weeks ago I was looking at some application guides and I saw the 09 TSX had the same front rotor as the 04-08 TSX. I'm waiting on a confirmation but I'm 99% sure that is what I saw. So good new the front rotors will be available and we'll check on the brake pad too.

Unless the hat is a different thickness then it should be the same, both are 11.8" in diameter correct?

I'm pretty sure the 2nd gen has larger rear rotors though. 11.1" compared to 10.2".

does that mean the 04-08 bbk would possibly fit our 09?

Possible, but I wonder if the caliper size and placement is exactly the same.

STOPTECH has advised me that everything is the same for the front and rear: rotors, pads, etc except of the front brake lines.

How is that possible when the 2nd gen has larger rear rotors? Unless the 1st gen's are 11.1", but I thought I read they were 10.2".

Are you sure the 2nd gen rear rotors are 11.1? I know the 1st gen has a 10.X (on the lower side like 10.2 like you said).

Unless the sales brochure I have in front of me from when I bought my car is lying, I'm pretty positive they're 11.1".

LOL. Well I guess STOPTECH is wrong. I wonder if anyone could measure their rotors for us.

i would totally swap my brakes for the stoptech if someone send me a set for free.

4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES WITH ABS

Like its predecessor, the 2009 Acura TSX features 4-wheel disc brakes. The front rotors measure 11.8 inches in diameter - the same as the previous generation - and are made of cast iron with radial vents for excellent heat dissipation and wear properties. At 11.1 inches diameter, the rear rotors are nearly an inch larger than on the previous-generation TSX, providing enhanced braking capability during repeated use. Floating-style single-piston cast-iron brake calipers are used front and rear.

A sophisticated 4-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is standard and works in concert with the vehicle's Traction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist, and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) systems for an outstanding array of electronic dynamic aids.

i'm sure this isn't news but meh I found it lol go meee
