🚗 Why Upgrade to the 18z Setup?
The 18z brake setup is known for its performance capabilities, making it a popular upgrade choice. With larger rotors and beefier calipers, you'll feel improved braking response and reduced fade during aggressive driving. Plus, it looks fantastic behind the right wheels!
In this video, I go in-depth, and show you guys all the parts and steps needed to do this retrofit!

Also something to note around me, Marty..I'm just a normal car guy and not a trained mechanic. I like to make interesting car mods and show you how I've gone about it, but I can't promise that anything I show you will work for your car, or that you won't harm yourself, someone else, your car or your warranty doing it. Please be safe and be responsible. Talk to a qualified mechanic if you are in any doubt

ALL parts used (caliper, rotors, pads, brake lines, misc. items) in total cost less than $1000!. Most Big Brake Kits out there cost over $1000 easy! So this is a cheaper way to get the BIg Brake look and performance on a budget

Great job and very thorough. Thanks for the awesome review! I'll be sure to reference this video for future customers!

@thecarfiend11 9 месяцев назад

No prob man. And I give you permission to use any part of the video as you need

Bro why did you stop making content

@Dad_dyflex-dx1qu I've just been busy with life lol. Once things calm down I'll start posting again. Hopefully early next year!

@jmaldovids352 9 месяцев назад

It’s crazy bro I feel like seeing this set up on video is completely different than seeing this set up in your car in person. These brakes are massive! Another awesome video!!

@thecarfiend11 9 месяцев назад

Do they look bigger in person? I can't help but look every so often, and realize how massive they are haha. And since it's a silver, stock color, they aren't as noticeable. But after I paint them, they're gonna POP

@jmaldovids352 9 месяцев назад

@@thecarfiend11 oh yeah they do. Can’t wait to see them after you paint them

@cesar02130 9 месяцев назад

I liked that blue color you had on the caliper. It was different.

17" wheels such as TE37, some Advans and similar barreled wheels will fit. Waffles not sure but 5 spokes OEMs definitely don't.

@thecarfiend11 16 дней назад

I appreciate the input. Good to see you're back. I still get people asking and usually refer them to you

Do you still have the drill template for the caliper?

@liammaupin9492 8 месяцев назад

I have a 2006 Accord V6 Manual Sedan and am now very interested in this swap now are 18’s required to fit these dinner plates or could I keep my 17’s love the car!

@thecarfiend11 8 месяцев назад

18's are pretty much required

That's so cool. I just don't know if the stock waffles will clear. Would love to do the upgrade if they did

@thecarfiend11 9 месяцев назад

Test fitted the Type S wheels. They do not clear the 18Z calipers

Are you able to to this to the CU2 (2nd gen tsx) ??

@thecarfiend11 3 месяца назад

You can upgrade to big brakes for any car really. The hardest part is the R&D. I don't believe this exact kit works with the CU2. But with enough R&D, you could potentially make your own kit. at that rate, you might as well grab something off the shelf that is known to work for your car

Hi can you tell me where I can get that BBK from and where I can order it from please

@quakerome4594 9 месяцев назад

Do you think these car's will shoot up in value in the near future? I'm already 10k deep into mine might as well keep it forever for nostalgic memories.

@thecarfiend11 9 месяцев назад

Probably not. Unless you have a TL-S, it gonna depreciate. TL-S generally hold their value better

@quakerome4594 9 месяцев назад

@@thecarfiend11 I mean I said the same thing about certain cars like Mark III Toyota Supra was worth 10-20k 2014 high school now half the cars I wanted are worth double or triple, I don't think it matters if it's Type S or not I think it's about the magnificent body Acura made for these cars and condition that the car is. I think these car's will be consider classics along with the TSX and will shoot up in value but who knows. Also seen Base model sell for more on the market, just depends on mileage and condition.
