Project Acura TSX CL9 Pt.3 : BEST BUDGET BRAKE UPGRADE! 

Thanks bud! Much appreciated.

We do what we can with that we have 😁👌

Thanks. We appreciate the interaction.

You're welcome to do so.

Thanks. We try.

Glad we could help

Great cars for sure

Glad you made it here.

Also a good option.

did u need a different bracket or something

@@hayze1211 yes. An adapter bracket. I got mine from fastbrakes

I can honestly say my pedal feel improved with these. I highly encourage you to do the upgrade. I tend to be a big fan of all quality brakes.

Great upgrade, enjoy!

Any year Genesis coupe with Brembo caliper will work.

@@blipshiftapex9047 Were you running 17" rims still or 18's?

@@danielorellana1666 17"

Any forums where i could see the DIY? Tl type s needs drilling and s2k rotors, RL is expensive cuz the bracket is like 100usd... DC5 and Genesis brembos are bolt on or need drilling too? I'd love to put brembos after the cold winter coming here in Quebec

We have to add some comedy for you guys haha.

Thats my old P11.

Definitely good info to know.

Please make a video about how you accomplished this. Were you able to keep the stock wheels?

@@SeventyEightCivic you just need spacers.

@@SeventyEightCivic I had to change my wheels. I'm currently on the TL 5 spokes that have a +45 offset. Spacers work too.

@@twothousanddeep This brakes cleared with TL wheels and no spacer? Just confirming.

Ive really been enjoying owning it. I may try to do a 6 month review of ownership.

You can look up the bolts online to find the part#. I forgot it off the top of my head. But a 30mm bolt with the same threat pitch would work with a lock washer.

@@blipshiftapex9047 Ok I'll have to check with fastenal to find them bolts. How about the hubcentric spacer for the rogue rotors

@@Notsniw_dc5 You can contact fastbrakes.com for the hub centric ring. Its very inexpensive.

25mm or 30mm bolt??

Exactly right, No drilling or with the genesis/dc5 kits. Although the Genesis kit uses a larger rotor than the DC5 kit.

I. Actually doing the same i just bought my rotors drill and slotted and my brake lines I have the tl type s calipers and I'm confused as of if its from the spindles you re drill or are we talking about re drilling or tapping the calipers? Thanks i been trying to get these on but with having that danm it I forgot something feeling... 😆

@@welvezsh1 as far as the RL calipers go im not quite sure. But i generally dont like any brake kits that require the redrilling of my hubs as i tend to like reversible mods.

This set up works really well. I havent made any new content due to work lately but its really been superb.

I don't believe they will fit without a spacer.

Much appreciated. The Brembo Genesis calipers use pads for Genesis with Brembos.

Local wrecker just so happened to have a set.

look on car-part

sounds like more of a pad and hardware issue than a bracket issue. I dont have any of those issues but then again i am on a very good daily driver pad. I honestly dont know if the evo wheels clear without a spacer. i wouldnt doubt youll need something like a 10-15mm spacer to clear them.

if you have tsx brakes on civic i dont see why not. That it will use the same rotors i couldnt tell you.

@@neverknowsbest4994 because the beauty of modding your car is you can go in any which direction you'd like. Plus for what was spent this was by far cheaper.

sometimes eye balling it one something sacrificial like a dust shield my style lol.

Contact Brian at Fastbrakes.com for the rings needed for the rotors.

Should have updated info on this in the next video.

Any year second gen genesis coupe with Brembo package..

I believe the wheel info is in my previous video. Check it out for the full specs.

I believe all the wheel info is in my previous video. Check it out for the full specs.

They should clear based on size/width/offset. A lot has to do with spoke design as well.

Thanks for watching. No spacers. I like running set ups that don't require it.

@@blipshiftapex9047 thank you for the reply. I will get these wheels now since I don’t have to run a spacer up front. Can’t wait for an update on this build.

I did not end up using the Genesis bolts. In the updated video of my most asked questions I add the information for the correct bolt lengths I have used with lock washers. The rotors are from the specific rogue that has a 3rd row seat.

There is a link in the video description to the stoptech lines i used for my tsx. You should upgrade while you are already in there. But if you don't you can use your stock lines. If im not mistaken i used the Brembo banjo bolts through.

Yes, they are highly recommended. You can purchase them from FASTBRAKES.COM you can call them to order.

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately due to COVID and work schedules its been a while since we have dove in to our cars. We look to get back in to it soon as more parts arrive.

@@shahul11p98 no idea. I don't own a cg6 accord.

17x9 +49

Why would you want a less responsive pedal? If anything you can just a less aggressive pad. But I would never upgrade to a performance part to use OEM rubber lines.

If the knuckle is that same then absolutely yes.

Look at him tighten those lug nuts with a torque wrench.

No issues with abs, everything works as should.

I hope u understand that and works on wheel speed sensor

For a daily driver the Centric pads I chose are more than sufficient and low dust and noise. When its time to track it $200+ G-Loc race compounds will go on like on my Sentra.

@@benjamindobson7351 the rears have larger rotors with stock calipers. Brackets by FastBrakes.com. any year second gen genesis coupe with Brembos works.

The ring is thin and only the thickness of the rotor. It doesn't affect the hub are the wheel center mates to.

The bleeding procedure is per the Factory Honda Service manual. The brakes have never felt better. They have served and performed magnificently.

@@blipshiftapex9047 good to hear thanks, cant wait to get mine. Must look into the procedure for those brakes, I have prob missed something.

Did you have to use a washer between the caliper and mounting point? & also did you cut the Hyundai Genesis oem bolts at?

Brakes feel fantastic. Haven't skipped a beat.

The video states the information at minute 1:31.

The closest ive been to washington here in Los Angeles is Washington Blvd.

You can run the stock Hyundai Caliper bolts. The wheel and tire information is in the follow-up video that is up on the channel as well 😁👍

Any year genesis coupe with Brembo calipers.

...Pads had to be filed I meant...

@@shawnking7005 just on the edges. Pads can sometimes come with slight imperfections that needs to be smoothened out for correct operation. Nothing major.

I got lucky at a local wrecker.

@@abelduran7438 any years of the second gen coupe that came with front brembos.

I dont know what wheel you need to have but you can clear the stock wheel with huge spacers which I recommend against.

I dont believe the sedan has the same size brembos.

Nope.

My local wrecking yard just so happened to have a Genesis coupe

Its more about spoke design than wheel spec. I believe in this video the wheel and offset is stated of the current WEDSport wheels currently on the car.

Always do your homework before committing to a modification.

@@blipshiftapex9047 lmao I didn't know backspacing was so important.. now I'm gonna buy new wheels!

I used OEM bolts with a lock washer which was enough space. If not You can just buy some 25mm bolts of the correct threat pattern with lock washers for safety.

What year is the genesis that I would be getting the brembos off of ?

I would cross reference the tsx caliper with the accord caliper. If it's the same then it would work.

With a 15mm spacer yes.

@@blipshiftapex9047 Thanks man, appreciate the help. New subscriber.

@@randyp6370 You're welcome. Thanks for subbing!

I copy & paste this, only difference was the pad choice. Waiting on the parts!! should I roll my fenders?? I’m running my stocks too 06 TSX

cant help if you didnt use the specific parts from the specific cars i provided. I would bleed the system again to make sure you are getting even pad pressure.

Henry, are you getting brake noise?

@@goforbroke2 yeah some noise when reversing. I ended up trimming the part that wasn't making contact. Still made noise

@@henryguardado4089 Oddly enough I get some noise when reversing as well. The other brake noise I was experiencing when driving I fixed though. The brake pads were hanging off the outside of the rotor by like 3mm. It was a enough to cause crazy brake noise. I shaved down the pads and no more noise. I’ve tried different pads and had the same issue. Even tried different rotors same issue, brake noise. Also tried the Fastbrakes bracket no difference, so now I’m running the Fat4custom bracket. It’s the better bracket and fitment. There was a dude on the tsx forum who was making steel brackets years ago and nobody had any issue with those.

Strange. So far I am still on the original rotors that were installed in the video.

@@blipshiftapex9047 Yea, I don’t know if it’s the auto part rotors or the way the customers drive but I’ve had 3 come back within 1 year due to warped rotors. TL Brembo s on the other hand never gave me or my customers any issues.

@@dukeduke3599 it could always be how hard people drive. But it does seem like a strange observation.

Any year Genesis coupe

Yes it does. Fronts only apply here.

Ok kool since it bolts right up im about to order mine right now

@@kamalellison2801 fantastic, you will definitely enjoy!

Can’t wait to see what you got next man!!!

@@kamalellison2801 A little bit of everything. As always keeping it a solid daily driver though!

I don't remember exactly the part #. The Genesis bolts fit fine.

Check out the previous TSX video on my channel at minute 9:49 where the wheel and tire information is posted.

The rears I have upgraded with a RDX rotor and bracket from fastbrakes.com.

@@blipshiftapex9047 What year RDX and is it front or back rdx rotors?

@@henryguardado4089 rear. The fast brakes site will tell you what year.

It will differ between styles of wheel and back spacing. Mine are 17x9 +49

17x9 +49

I dont run spacers for the wheels I have. But I mention hub centric rings to center the rotors on the hub correctly. Those you can buy from fastbrakes.com

Yes, but you have to use massive spacers apparently.

Yes. The rears don't work. Only the fronts.

They are in there. They go installed on the wheel hub itself.

@@blipshiftapex9047 is there a link to purchase?

@@christiandechoudens4381 you can contact Brian at Fastbrakes @(602) 323-2110

I would have no idea. I do not have an accord.

No, maybe with some large spacers. But not directly.

Don't know off the top of my head. A quick Google search should find you the answer.

I wouldn't know. I got my rings from FastBrakes separately.

@@blipshiftapex9047 must be nice. Looks like they only sell them as a combo with rotors these days.

@@dzynr320 You called and spoke to Brian from fastbrakes? Well this is where you take it upon yourself to find a solution.

@@blipshiftapex9047 back when you made this video, the rings were sold separately. If they wanted to sell them separately they would have that option still.

Off the top of my head I would say take the part # I put in the video. Cross reference what car they are for and find upgraded rotors for that car.

Local private seller. You can still purchase the tc105x new.

I also called ARP and they said i would need to know the knurl diameter and thread size. If anyone knows!! thank you!

The tsx uses a standard Honda knurl size 12.22mm. this means you can use a standard Honda ARP kit. ARP-100-7712. Only the dc2 type r uses a different knurl from my understanding.

If the knuckles are the same yes. If not no. You'll have to do the homework on that one.

It would be something im sure you can find out on the tsx forums. I never looks at the 2nd gen tsx so im not entirely sure.

Wedsport tc105n

Contact Brian at FastBrakes for the part.

They are magically delicious.

I got lucky. Found the calipers very cheap. Also I can still find them for about $150 each from wreckers online. So you definitely need to Google a little harder.

That's something you would have to find out for us. I don't have a second gen TSX to test this on.

Yes.

Any year second generation genesis coupe. I don't remember the specific years but you can easily Google it
