Project TSX Gets BIG Rear Brakes and Camber Correction
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie
Last time our Project TSX got a front big brake upgrade from Fastbrakes and front adjustable camber upper control arms from K-Tuned. Well, what's good for the front is good for the back. So to bring the car back in to balance on braking we are installing much larger rotors in the rear. Since we have the TSX in the air, we're going to install some adjustable camber arms to eliminate the hot boi stance negative camber.

You best tighten down that rear camber arm.. They are threads that are not tight fit and are prone to impact. Lock it down tight.

So what is the new braking bias now vs old bias? Honestly I've expected from you a more professional approach on this upgrade and do some bias calculation before and after.

They are the same on the rear , stock size that is. The front TL rotors , calipers and caliper brackets are a upgrade. What I found the stock Element front pads are the same as the TL,just larger rotors. A big brake upgrade for the TL should work for the Element. Keep in mind will need to go with a larger diameter wheel for clearance. I put TL front brakes on my 06 Element. Front dust covers need bent away from the rotors a little.

@@craigwiess1656 I've actually upgraded the fronts with TSX Rotors and Calipers. Both the rotors and calipers are larger, and clear OEM wheels 👍 I don't feel I need to upgrade the rears, but keep a lookout...just in case I happen to come across a nice bolt-on option.

@@mrmanny have found a option using 350Z rotors and calipers on the rear. An adapter for the caliper and triming the backing plate down significantly is required. That and 18 inch wheels. I used TL front rotors and calipers, the rear is stock other than slotted rotors and braided lines.

What’s the point in putting larger brake rotors on a car that doesn’t have any issues locking up the wheels?
@VTECAcademy
@VTECAcademy Жыл бұрын
On the track, you need more thermal mass to absorb heat so you can brake harder for longer periods without heat soaking the system. It combats brake fade.

Unless you were cooling your brakes, you just made your car heavier, slower, and added unsprung weight. Full hard parker status. Pretty lame.

Heavier by 2 pounds all 4 corners. He's not making this vehicle into a track car. But some people like the looks of full wheel brakes and having a better braking setup altogether. All my cars have big brake setups and I'm coming up with a brembo setup for the rear of the TSX/Accords. Honda's would look good with 4 corner brembos but don't have it so we have to settle with Willwoods expensive crap. Ijs. Don't hate on the man for hard parkin it dawg.
