RL 4 Piston Caliper Mod

[NVA-AV6]

The costs are about the same a a wilwood kit, but the RL calipers are much beefier as well as the rotors being rotora 12.8"

i saw some calipers on xl last night for <200. came with pads.

I have the Rotora BBK on my car, the rotors really are great, I love my kit.

Looks like fastbrakes removed that item. I wonder what happened.

they couldnt really get it 2 work, it didnt fit right

they were using 350z rotors which were 2 thick u couldnt fit the caliper once the pads were on there

Ahhhhh. Scumbags

paul installed the RL's on my car... theyre working well.. i paired them to rotora 13" rotors.

i picked up the calipers for 200 shipped on ebay.. grinded off the acura logo and powdercoated them, then picked up EBC yellowstuff pads. so far so good!




i believe paul still has the caliper bracket measurements for anyone looking to go this route

Looks good.  Makes me want to ditch my Legend calipers and get these instead.

Just an update on this one.  I ended up getting the RL calipers Adi had and the brackets Paul made for him.  I have the exact same set up as kSchwiggy has.  Problem is that they don't clear my wheels.  I had to take them off and put my Legend calipers and rotors back on so I could drive my car.  It looks like I will need to get spacers for the spokes of my Buddy Club's.  I'm also going to sell my TL's since the diameter is too small to clear the calipers.

yum...this is in my future

Tim what rotors did you end up going with?  I'm thinking about ditching my wilwood kit for these.  Nothing but problems with the wilwood kit so far.

Pretty sure Tim's Rotors are Rotora. RL calipers on Tim's car looking SICK! I saw them Saturday night they are fucking huge!

[timot_one]

Sorry to hear that man.  I know Paul has the Willwood kit and likes it.  I have the Rotora rotors (don't know the part numbers or fittment off hand).  I'm not really into the slotted design and will end up replacing the rotors with blanks when I have time to research and find some.

Do you know what size they are? 

Paul's wilwood kit is much better then mine.  His came with the older larger caliper where as mine came with the newer slimmer calipers which are a POS.  Plus he had his own mounting bracket whereas I had to use the shitty one Fastbrakes sent me and 6-8 spacers to get it to fit.  The front rotors just warped and that is the last straw for me.  If anyone sees a pair of 05+ RL calipers on ebay for cheap, let me know!

It seems that the calipers are solid, but the brackets and rotors suck.  I'd consider bringing your business to Paul since he's local enough to you.  I'm sure he could machine a better mounting bracket for you and could give you a good suggestion on better rotors.  He's a good resource to have locally.  You may end up saving a few bucks keeping your calipers and just getting better components to compliment them.
