TL Brembos?

Hey guys. In the aftermath of Sandy, a buddy of mine has an 06 TL 6-sp with stock Brembo brakes that got totaled. He offered to let me take anything I'd like, and I'm wondering if the TL Brembos have any shot at fitting the RA. I read on another forum that they were the same calipers as the Evo 8/9, but I'm not sure if that helps any, or if it's even accurate.

Any help you guys could provide would be awesome!

The mounting pattern is different. What are the diameter and width of the stock TL brake rotors?

As far as I can gather (I don't have anything in front of me), the front rotors are:

12.2 in (310 mm) diameter,
0.98 in (25 mm) rotor thickness

The rears are:

11.1 in (282 mm) diameter
0.35 in (9 mm) rotor thickness

Also not sure if it matters, but this Brembo set is a 4-pot front, and single in the back.

Yup, toss those. They won't work and are not even close to being the same.

For future reference, in case anyone is wondering how to find rotor specs, Centric-Parts has them all listed on their website.

Actually any 8th gen Si/RSX Type S driver would take those. Make some money!

That was my backup plan! I'm getting a full set of rotors and pads with it (brand new), so I figured if this didn't work I could put it towards some new mods.

Thanks for all the help guys!
