Same , im getting ready to do this setup this weekend …is it significantly better stopping than the oem setup ? Also does it matter which side I bleed first ? And as far as I can tell the s2000 rotors are identical diameter to the si so is there any benefits of using them im not aware of … thanks man , great video

An old mechanic trick that has saved me many times. Try using a hammer to beat the top of screwdriver couple times to shock loosen the rotor screws or any bolt for that matter. Be warned the plastic handle of screwdriver might break, but it will help to loosen the screws.

No difference between the stock rotor and the s2000 rotor. There will be pad overhand with the s2000 rotor. The ideal way to do this swap is with a spacer behind the rotor and a TL-S Rotor. The stock and s2000 rotors are both 300mm. I do not know the size difference between stock and TL-S calipers.

@BSD_Productions

Micah Myricks The information you’re providing is inaccurate. The S2k and stock rotors are not same. Just because the diameter is the same, doesn’t mean they’re the same. The rotors have different offsets. Also, for TL-S rotors, you need extended studs to be safe.

I’ve been wondering this as well

Hey man, I logged in to try to send you a message but couldn’t so I figured I’d leave a comment. This looks awesome and I’m glad you put this vid up. I soon plan on swapping on TL-S Brembos that I’m having refinished. I am eventually going to go with you described as Option #2, w/ the spacers and studs and all TL-S parts. But, for now I am thinking about using Option #1 as a temporary solution. When I go to switch over to Option #2, I’ll be replacing my Master cylinder as well for more fluid movement. My questions are: -What do you think about the overhang on the S2K rotors? Is it minimal enough to not really worry about, because I do push my 07 FA5 pretty hard. -If you’re using the OEM reservoir (and I know your car is a 9th, not an 8th), how did the brake pedal feel and the operation overall work? Any sloppiness? Just wanted to talk to someone who has done this! I can send you my contact info if needed, thanks bro!

@BSD_Productions

3 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the delay in response! Anyways... 1. The overhang isn’t much of an issue. Currently have well over 10k miles on the setup now, and no issues. That includes hard braking. At low speeds like backing out of the driveway you can hear a slight squeak. Of course using different brake compounds will be the biggest variable, though I’ve never heard of anyone having major issues other than noise. 2. So the car in the video is actually my wife’s 9th gen, I have a 8th (still factory calipers). Anyways, she didn’t really notice much difference in the pedal. I did notice the pedal has to travel a little further, but nothing to be concerned about. The car overall stops better, and the pedal travel isn’t much more than stock. I would feel comfortable taking it as is to a track day. Any other questions just let me know, and I can give you my FB info. Hope that helps!

Never had to, hasn’t changed since installing the calipers and doesn’t affect the stopping power. Though when I drive my 8th Gen Si, I can definitely tell the pedal travel difference compared to my wife’s 9th with the Brembos. In my opinion, it’s just preference. I wouldn’t be afraid to go on a track day as is.

hi im planning to do the same swap. s2k rotors are the same as tl-s rotors?

@BSD_Productions

4 жыл бұрын

Negative. TL-S rotors need a spacer behind them and recommended extended studs. The S2K rotors fit perfect, but are a smaller diameter causing slight pad overhang. Not a big deal with the overhang, but the pads will develop a lip overtime and start squeaking/squealing. You’ll just need to take the pads out and grind the lips down every once in a while.
