Arrow RL Advics BBK DIY

To do the Advics BBK you need a few things listed below. The result is giant 4 piston calipers and 324mm rotors. Cutting the rotor backing plate may not be necessary. You could bend it out of the way.

Front left and right calipers from Acura RL 2005-2009 made by Advics. Acquire these from eBay, junk yards, etc. New would be prohibitively expensive. Mine are rebuilt by A1 Cardone.

Two 12.8 inch rotors from the Nissan 350Z Track edition (sometimes called "w/ Brembo brakes" on sales sites). The ones in this video are DBA 4600 XS (Disc Brakes Australia). Soon being replaced with Project mu 2-piece.

Brake pads of your choosing to match the front Acura RL 2005-2009. I am using Akebono ceramic.

Custom bracket.


The video does not show moving of the brake line. That is a bolt in the back of your old caliper. You simply unscrew it and then screw it into the new caliper. Bleeding your brakes is 100% necessary following that process. Stainless steel braided lines are recommended. I have StopTech brand lines.

A good price may be in upwards of $200, but it depends where you get them and the condition they are in.

He used the Project Mu rotors for a 06+ 350z Track Model (w/Brembo Brakes). You need the custom brackets that allows you to fit the RL Advics Calipers and the rotors mentioned above.

Fastbrakes has the brackets. From what I've heard this works on 6th-8th generation, and sedan/coupe has never been different.
