Couple things coming from a tech, When you installed the caliper bracket you were supposed to hold the back nut while you torque the bolt, when you torqued the back nut it loosened the bolt, also I wouldn’t use anti seize to lubricate the pads, only recommended brake grease, and lastly you installed the sliding pins backwards, they’re supposed to be installed from the back that way it’s easier to remove when you change your pads out, now you have to smack them out from the back of the caliper which is going to be a pain in the ass, video is still great and not throwing any shade or hate! Keep up the good work
I did a bunch of research into this because I wanted to do it on my 2013 Honda Accord. If you’re not doing this yourself as a do it yourself project be prepared to add between $500 and $950 in labor cost. The $500 in my case would be having a mechanic friend of mine do it. The $950 option would be if I went to a local high-performance shop. Both parts and labor for this upgrade will cost me between $1400-$1700 if I used the spacers option including labor. If my wheel size (I have both 17 inch & 18 inch wheels) for the 17 inch ones were too small I would need to get spacers or buy new 18 inch or bigger wheels. If I wanted to avoid the potential problems with spacers (see below) I would need to add $600-$800 more to buy new bigger 18+ inch wheels for a total cost of $2100-$2500 to get this job done. some risks involved for spacers are; 1 - Wheel size. If you have 17 inch or smaller wheel sizes you will likely need to use spacers. If you use spacers then; 1b - You can possibly get vibration at high speeds 1c - You can possibly throw off the front end alignment. 1d - You can possibly cause increased wheel bearing wear and need to get new wheel bearings prematurely. I thought about this for a long time wanting to get this done because I needed new front brakes. After some months of thinking about this I just got a regular front brake job with new regular disks and new pads at a cost of $430 both parts and labor. No risks no super high costs and no foot work ordering custom parts, all finished at my local mechanics shop in a few hours. At a 25 to 30% increase in breaking power for this custom job it just wasn’t worth the significant time effort and cost so I just went with regular breaks. However, I would like to thank the creator of this video as this was the best video I have seen on this type of upgrade. He went through a lot of time and effort to make this clear and simple. Thank you.
One small mistake at 4:21. When you torque the nut on the back side to the same as the bolt it loosens the bolt that is actually doing the work of holding the bracket on. That nut is just an extra layer of safety. I also think the red loctite should go on on the adaptor bolt and nut, maybe blue loctite on the actual caliper mounting bolts. I'm actually wondering how you will get those off the way you did that. Once that nut comes off, the bolt backs off toward the disc and if the red loctite does its job there will be no room to work on it.
GREAT VIDEO!! doing the same mod to mine, just picked up 2011 RL front calipers, ordered new rear OEM calipers, new brake lines, rotors and pads. Keep up the good work!!!
Easy there processor, i went with the torque spec the bracket came with and all the crush washers are correct. If there was 2 washers i can guarantee it was corrected. I went to acura and they said it was a brembo caliper.
For my 9th gen accord sport where could I get these ? I’ve been looking for them and I found them for both back and front for 4 thousand and im not sure if it’s a good deal
Hey man, I love your video. You did a good job with the installation. I have a question, I notice when you installed the big rotor you didn't use any hub centric rings. Did the rotors fit perfectly? I have the same car like yours and I had to use a hub-centric ring on my mind for it to fit. Also, I'm getting a lot of high pitch squeaking from my set up any advice on what I could have done wrong? Thank you for your time.
Good video, however...Torque specs are all wrong!Bracket to knuckle bolt - 70 FtlbsNylock Nuts - 40 FtlbsCaliper Mounting Bolts - 60 Ftlbsalso, you weren't even holding the bolt while torqueing the nut, it was just spinning...LOLBut the biggest problem I have is you putting a Brembo decal on an ADVICS caliper... TISK TISK....and you have 2 crush washers on the brakeline side.
I know it’s a pretty old video but the left rotor and the right are different or they’re the same thing trying to do the same thing to my 2017 Honda Accord by the way love you video a lot of detail information on the description and your video
Question, i have seen other RL front calipers that have the raised “ACURA” letters. Your calipers look flat. Is that a year model thing? Why do some RL calipers have the raised letters others not?
@@FATmods just saw on summit’s app, remanufactured RL 4pot calipers are $85, $105, and $117 for different brands. Didn’t look like they had the letters, but for that, get reman, powdercoat whatever color, and install. Seen people selling used kits with rotors @$700 on marketplace. For that practically new for way less, new calipers, powdercoat, pads, rotors, stainless lines, prob end up way under $700.
What grinding on the bracket did you do? I did a test fit of the caliper and the rotor with my stock 2017 rims and the caliper is hitting the rim so i believe i will need spacers, im not sure how much, at least 5mm but maybe 10mm. i wonder if that will leave enough stud sticking out for the rim? Any suggestions?
Can I use a 08 Nissan Maxima front rotors or it needs to be a 350z rotors what’s the diameter on the rotors I need you know...thanks for the information
I think I'm going to take this video down because no one list to what I said or read the comments. The rotors are from a 350Z and I would not know if it would fit a Acura. I dont know what the caliper bolts are and the rotor size on a Acura. This is for a honda accord.
Great video. Where did you source the Acura 4-poston calipers? Also, it would be helpful to know what wheels you are using, because these calipers won't clear my Honda 18-in wheels. Thank you.
Stanislav Sannikov yes. They fit on my 17 OZ Ultraleggera wheels with the Acura 320mm rotors. Here is the link to my instagrAm photos instagram.com/p/BtBUQSGjdc6/?igshid=kovcp8git2uw
i'd say they aRe 22.342% better. bUt if you alREady had greaT performAnce pads and rotoRs that are slotteD?, only like 17.9921% better =/ but cooling wise easilY 900007% bEtter for SURe.1!!!
Hey, question. Have you had any occurrences of squealing after doing this conversion? I did the exact same thing on mine and I can’t stop the driver side from squealing. I have cleaned and sanded the pins as well as put anti seize on all contact points of the pad to caliper. Still no luck. Any suggestions would help.
F.A.T mods okay will do. The squealing only occurs while braking. This may still be caused by the heat shield? I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
Hey I am following your conversion in every aspect and detail. I appreciate you posting all this, I had one question. What did you do for the rotors and calipers in the back? I got all four calipers from an 06 RL and I am getting the stoptech rotors you posted in the description. Yet I was wondering if I anything is needed to put the rear calipers on or will those work with the standard rear rotors, if you can get back to me I’d greatly appreciate it.
zack Mc like i said they are from a nissan 350z. honda rotor is not big enough for those calipers. But the part number listed in the comments and they will fit.
Will you need spacers and extended studs for the stock 19” Accord sport wheels to clear the caliper?. I thought 19” wheels would clear, not so sure now.
F.A.T mods I had to use wheel spacers and studs 1/2” longer than stock for the stock 19” rims I have to clear the caliper but once installed a bunch of lights came on the dash, ABS light, TPMS light, electronic stability control and like 2 more, is that normal?, will it go away with time?, or should I have them reset with a computer at a shop?. Also, it seems I have to press the brake pedal a lot longer than before now in order to break with this upgrade, break fluid is new Brembo, break lines are stainless steel StopTechs, don’t know if pressure has to build up for that feeling to go away with time. My brake pads are Brembo instead of the Akebonos. Can you please advice.
Jose Vasconcellos make sure all the sensors are plugged in properly. There is no reason why the abs light should come on. My Tpms light came on because I had staggered tires but I recalibrate and it went away
Does anyone know if there would be fitment issues running these calipers and rotors and using the OE 18" Honda Sport wheels? I'm locating the RL calipers and I would add spacers until I can purchase my new wheels later this year. Thanks.
Ok so i am trying to do the same thing, but amazon tells me that the rotos you have linked does not fit .... whats the deal ? As i look at the picture the rotos don't have the holes in the right place. can you please make sure and get back to us Thank you very much for the vid.
It doesn't matter what Amazon said I did it to my car so that's the part it needs. Honda doesn't make a rotor that big and the one that would fit is from a Nissan z. If you want to do the conversation buy the items in the discription and you won't have a problem.
Hello again my brother. I know you have link description but i wanted to know if there is another rotor besides the one you listed that would work for my 2014 accord sport with the acuea rl calipers
Brembo cross drilled rotors for the 350z track will work too but they’re $450 - $500 a piece, not sure if the difference will be that great compared to the StopTechs to justify.
Hey, my friend Henry here and I am sending u this message all the way from Kissimmee, FL...saw ur video several times and its great info and a great install as well...one thing that u didn't mention on ur video was the info on the rotor that u are using, what I mean by information from the rotor is basically the yr. make and model of the car that the rotor goes to...also just a quick question for u I have a 2017 honda accord sport and the wheels that I have on the car are staggered...the front is 19x8.5 and rears are 19x9.5...if I decide to do this mod on my car will I have any issues at all with clearance because I really don't want to use spacers on my car, if u know what I mean.
Dont know it it will fit if not you will only need a 5mm spacer. The part number for the rotors is in the discription. That the one I use I think is a2006 350z
Great video bro, do you happen to know if this will work for a 15-20 Acura TLX? Since the 9th gen have some similarities such as the after market coilovers.
I had the upgrade done with the stock 19” rims, needed spacers and extended wheel studs to make it clear the larger caliper. I also lowered my Accord LX 1” with TruHart Sport Shocks and Eibach Pro Springs. However, when running @60+ mph there’s a lot of vibration on the dash and the steering wheel. Any idea what it may be?.
F.A.T mods I ordered the hubcentric spacers priority so I’ll have them in a couple days. Tires were balanced and an alignment done however my rims are bent on the inside part, they’re not massively bent, don’t know if that could also have something to do there but it vibrates quite hard at times when in the highway 60+ mph. I also had an RV-6 downpipe installed (I have the I-4 engine) but with the O2 sensor spacer no CEL light has come on so I don’t think that may be causing the vibration from the engine side.
F.A.T mods I changed the spacers for some expensive hub centric spacers and almost all the vibration is gone. Very satisfied with the brakes upgrade, really makes a difference compared to stock both in performance and looks.
Hey FAT Mods... The calipers you have dont have the raised ACURA letters. All of the calipers I am looking at on ebay for 2005-2012 have the raised letters that say ACURA. Whats the difference. Also when you order the adapter, do you order it for a 2013-2017 Honda Accord Coupe or do you order it for an acura? Great video!!
F.A.T mods cool brother thank you and i heard i could use altima discs but i would like you to please advise me into which are the correct one and what size in diameter
deathstrike gamer hey bro i installed the calipers but could not use the factory rotors i used 2006 nissan maxima and it works very nice or you can use the rotors from the Rl which is the same as the maxima. It works im driving the car every day and it works exellent but im using 20 inch rims. It won't clear accord sport factory rims unless you put a spacer
Bro did you hear any clunking noise coming from the wheels area I did everything Properly but I am hearing an intermittent noise on both sides!!!! Brakes work Great however
How many liters of the DOT4 brake fluid did you have to use to refill after you bled the whole brake system?. Also, will this DOT4 brake fluid from Brembo also work: www.oscaroparts.com/brembo-brake-fluid-l-04-010-20361432-11389-p?ctx=%7b%22part.genart%22%3a%2211389%22%2c%22vehicle.oscvehicleconfig%22%3a%2249440%22%7d
For the stock DOT3 brake fluid from Honda they recommend changing it every 2-3 years under normal driving conditions. Is it any different for the DOT4 fluid under normal driving conditions?. I’ll probably drive a bit hard but not all the time.

Hey, my friend Henry here and I am sending u this message all the way from Kissimmee, FL...saw ur video several times and its great info and a great install as well...one thing that u didn't mention on ur video was the info on the rotor that u are using, what I mean by information from the rotor is basically the yr. make and model of the car that the rotor goes to...also just a quick question for u I have a 2017 honda accord sport and the wheels that I have on the car are staggered...the front is 19x8.5 and rears are 19x9.5...if I decide to do this mod on my car will I have any issues at all with clearance because I really don't want to use spacers on my car, if u know what I mean.
Dont know it it will fit if not you will only need a 5mm spacer. The part number for the rotors is in the discription. That the one I use I think is a2006 350z
How did you get rid of "ACURA" logo on the caliper?
Nhia Vang There are 2 different calipers 1 with acura and 1 without. You can also grind off the logo
Hey by any chance do you know if this kit will be good on a 2018 Accord with the stock wheels ?
I don't think the change the suspension much but you might need spacers
F.A.T mods huh ?
@@waldynvasquez9335 yes what's wrong with that?
They should still fit the 2018 but you might need wheel spacers.
Check the description all the info is there
Did you change the back calipers also to the RL's too? If so (or not) would the same conversion fit like you did to the front
Is it necessary to change the wheel studs for extended ones to put these calipers on
Roberto Alicea it would be best, there wasn't much thread left and it also depends on the type of rim you are using
F.A.T mods I got 19 tsw on my accord
Roberto Alicea you would have to do a test fit to know for sure
Anybody know Where can I find the Bracket to bolt up the brake?
If you check the discription you will find the info
I have a 2016 accord coupe V6.... would those Calipers fit with the stock rims or would I need spacers? Love the videos btw
Spacers
@@FATmods I thought so. What are your thoughts on spacers. Lots of different options out there and any advice on sizes of spacers
@@FATmods thank you btw
I wouldn't know what you offset is watch a video on how to measure offset.
How long do the caliper brackets take to ship?
Depending Where you located
That caliper looks like candy
Just don't eat it 😁😁
@@FATmods 🤣🤣🤣
Great video bro, do you happen to know if this will work for a 15-20 Acura TLX? Since the 9th gen have some similarities such as the after market coilovers.
They are originally from a acura so they might
Does the factory 18" wheel fit or did you have to put spacer
Sorry just found my answer in your comments
Spacers
We’re the rotors expensive when you bought them
I know this video is old as hell, but RL didn’t have brembos. They came with ADVICS
I had the upgrade done with the stock 19” rims, needed spacers and extended wheel studs to make it clear the larger caliper. I also lowered my Accord LX 1” with TruHart Sport Shocks and Eibach Pro Springs. However, when running @60+ mph there’s a lot of vibration on the dash and the steering wheel. Any idea what it may be?.
Jose Vasconcellos tires needs proper balancing and make sure the spacers are hub centric or use hub rings
Jose Vasconcellos everything is a good now
F.A.T mods I ordered the hubcentric spacers priority so I’ll have them in a couple days. Tires were balanced and an alignment done however my rims are bent on the inside part, they’re not massively bent, don’t know if that could also have something to do there but it vibrates quite hard at times when in the highway 60+ mph. I also had an RV-6 downpipe installed (I have the I-4 engine) but with the O2 sensor spacer no CEL light has come on so I don’t think that may be causing the vibration from the engine side.
F.A.T mods I changed the spacers for some expensive hub centric spacers and almost all the vibration is gone. Very satisfied with the brakes upgrade, really makes a difference compared to stock both in performance and looks.
Jose Vasconcellos 👍👍
What kind of Rotor did you use?...and size...
Part number In the description
How much did you pay for the Calipers?
Hey FAT Mods... The calipers you have dont have the raised ACURA letters. All of the calipers I am looking at on ebay for 2005-2012 have the raised letters that say ACURA. Whats the difference. Also when you order the adapter, do you order it for a 2013-2017 Honda Accord Coupe or do you order it for an acura? Great video!!
I just say the caliper on ebay.com. I order bracket for accord
How did you modify the bracket
I machine it but you shouldn't have to they improved on it
are u running aftermarket wheels or factory
Watch the other videos and you will see
Hello brother i got a question. Can I intall those calipers on my 2014 accord sport while keeping factory discs or it doesn't work?
NO factory disc is to small
F.A.T mods cool brother thank you and i heard i could use altima discs but i would like you to please advise me into which are the correct one and what size in diameter
Kano Young check the description it has the info on all the parts then you could compare the size
Kano Young I also have a 2014 Accord sport running 18inch rims. If you get it working on yours please keep me posted
deathstrike gamer hey bro i installed the calipers but could not use the factory rotors i used 2006 nissan maxima and it works very nice or you can use the rotors from the Rl which is the same as the maxima. It works im driving the car every day and it works exellent but im using 20 inch rims. It won't clear accord sport factory rims unless you put a spacer
cool man, cool vid
Bro did you hear any clunking noise coming from the wheels area I did everything Properly but I am hearing an intermittent noise on both sides!!!! Brakes work Great however
Make sure nothing is rubbing and all bolts are tight
F.A.T mods thanks brother I’ll check everything out tomorrow and let you know
I have hub rings for my wheels do you think that may be an issue as well I can send you pics
F.A.T mods appreciate you responding that’s man added you on IG and sent you some pics of the car and the caliper
What rotors did u use for wich car are they meant for ?thanks
Sorry do also know if this will work on a 2012 honda accord
Part number is in the description and I said it in the video
Thanks man must have. Missed it
👍👍
Also would 19 rims clear it?
16 & 17 19s dont fit without a small spacer.
this fit on a accord sport 2016 sedan..? thanks
Check if the bracket will fit. I think it will fit but double check
F.A.T mods i see ffc have bracket for 13 to 17 accord
Now all you need is calipers
F.A.T mods one more question.. about the rotors. What size will fit.?
Awesome video.. could I put these caliper on any Honda?
The bracket is for a accord i dont know if the have it for other models. Check fat four customs
F.A.T mods my model is not on there.
Search google u might find one
F.A.T mods there is a shop in Markham that as the caliper I just need to know if the element run the same knuckle as the accord.
Ask the dealer or check the forum
Just a little maybe an inch and the rims i used cleared without any spacers
The StopTech rotors you used are they made for the Acura or Honda ?
What about bleeding
What about bleeding
What kind of extended wheel studs are those?
Arp
Part number
Well they fit for 2017 Honda accord sport
I would take so I don't think they change the bolt tread. Whey you go to buy just check fitment info
We’re can I get the bracket
fatfourcustoms.com/shop/brake-...
How many liters of the DOT4 brake fluid did you have to use to refill after you bled the whole brake system?. Also, will this DOT4 brake fluid from Brembo also work: www.oscaroparts.com/brembo-brake-fluid-l-04-010-20361432-11389-p?ctx=%7b%22part.genart%22%3a%2211389%22%2c%22vehicle.oscvehicleconfig%22%3a%2249440%22%7d
Jose Vasconcellos I used about 800ml in total. The brembo should be fine
For the stock DOT3 brake fluid from Honda they recommend changing it every 2-3 years under normal driving conditions. Is it any different for the DOT4 fluid under normal driving conditions?. I’ll probably drive a bit hard but not all the time.
Jose Vasconcellos if you are running big brake kit runt dot4 high temp not the synthetic it holds up better
F.A.T mods thanks a lot for the info.
You know the dimensions on this brackets
No I don't I suggest u buy the stoptech because they were tested and they fit perfect
Mine is +35 and I have 1/8 clearance
I have a 9th gen accord with F1R 18"x9.5 +40 offset wheels. Will this fit inside my wheels without touching?
just remember to clean the rotors before installation.
Lol.....
Bossman which part of Guyana you from?
From Jamaica
@@FATmods could have passed for Guyanese..😀 i like the way you explain all those details and to share all the links and info. Thank you
My pleasure keep watching
At least 25 to 30 % better braking
Why "Brembo"? These calipers made by Advics for Honda! I think it'll be more authentic and truthful to write "Honda" on them)
Call them whatever you want i don't care
because Brembo is the most advertised and over rated name in brakes. no offense . But they do make good factory oem and "aftermarket" stuff
104011020 I call Honda and they told me it was a brembo and I don't really care what's on it
It's your choice! I was just wondering)
Hey I'll be hopefully doing this same mod. Nice video. Was wondering what rims do you have. Will the stock 19s fit ?
What about 18?
Thanks in advance
When you first started the video you had old wheel studs then they were new lol
Roberto Alicea lol they were brand new but i only had 8 and i needed ten so i changed the out
F.A.T mods can you let me know where you got the longer studs from. I think I might need some for my setup
Roberto Alicea Ebay and if you're in canada kijiji
I know had to jump on them
