Default Do Acural TL brembos fit?

Wondering if the Brembos on the new Acura TLs fit the S2000?

Will it bolt up or is a custom bracket needed?

What size are the brembo TL rotors (diameter and width)?

How much clearance is needed for the TL Brembos (distance from rotor face to furthest point on caliper)?

Thanks for the help!

It's generally not a good idea to use brakes that are designed for another car ...

Buying a Brembo BBK will probably cost around the same than getting the OEM parts for the TL + all that hassle ... !?!

Used calipers can be quite cheap and if the TL calipers are smaller and thinner (require less wheel clearance), it may be a better option. If it fits physically, I'll look more into the piston area. But no need to do that if it doesn't fit or requires the same clearance as other BBKs.

Why don't you buy a pair on ebay and try to make it fit?

If it doesn't work, you should be able to sell it for around the same price you paid for it.
