Hey bro clean rsx!! 🔥🔥I’m wondering what are ur wheels spec? And if u needed to run spacer? I picked up a 06 RSX Type s with the TL brembo caliper and been searching for wheels but not sure if the specs I want will work without using spacer. Looking to get 18x9.5 +38
Hey man awesome video, we will probably link/embed this on our product page if that is ok with you, this is a great walkthrough/DIY. We'll be chasing the threads from now on for the mounting ear threads to clean that up. Hand tools prevents stripping but yeah some folks love the impact tools. I do recommend adding some red loc tite to the bolts if you are doing any HPDE/track driving just for extra insurance.
@VisionAutoworks thanks, and yea permission granted, feel free to use this video. Ah and good tips on the loc tite, I didnt think much of it since this is my main daily but definitely will do for track and auto crossing
Had similar issues with my Acura RL BBK that I got powder coated. I had to chase the threads going into the 2 halves as there was coating inside and destroyed 2 threads using power tools. Luckily was able to save with by chasing and using ARP Bolts with their assembly lube.
@@Newyen6MT powder coaters should mask these areas up but it's not always done or only one side is masked and some stray powder ends up on the other end
@@luedetailing7331 For sure, I was luckily able to save it by chasing and using ARP. Was pretty annoying. Same for the bleeder screw, hella material on the threads
Are these worth getting performance wise? I’ve seen mixed things. I’ve got a boosted type s street car and I don’t plan on going over 500 hp anytime soon and I’ve read mixed things
Yes they are, because the caliper will sit too close to the wheels. You will need a spacer for the inside diameter of the tl type s rotor to fit inside and you’ll also need one for the front of the of the rotor because usually the offset of the rsx and the ep3 wheels won’t work
I’m doing the same brake setup on my ep3 and I have the 05-06 rsx type s wheels which are 17x7 and the caliper sits on the back of the wheel spokes. I believe you’ll need a 15mm wheel adapter spacer to clear the wheels
@@dC5alex yes our shim is designed to correct the offset to center the rotor. The shim is very thin it's just to offset just a very small amount that we do not want to cut off the caliper. The amount of negative offset it adds is negligible so if you have good fitting wheels already, bolting on our kit will not result in them poking way out. Unmodified calipers will require a much thicker spacer and WILL in fact push your wheels out a significant amount. Just another reason why our setup is better 👍

beautiful, tires sizes and wheels spec??thanks
Description
Are the brakes smooth when braking?
Great video!
What’s the offset of your wheels? Mine is +30
