Acura Ilx Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Acura Ilx seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Ilx keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Acura Ilx is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Acura Ilx together.

What Is Included in the Acura Ilx Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Acura Ilx includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Ilx, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Acura Ilx piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Ilx caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Acura Ilx, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Ilx, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Acura Ilx application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Acura Ilx

A caliper kit is the right call for the Acura Ilx in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Ilx are already compromised. During a high-mileage Ilx overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Acura Ilx are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Ilx brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Acura Ilx.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Acura Ilx

New OEM-specification calipers for the Acura Ilx are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Ilx vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Acura Ilx housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Ilx replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Acura Ilx Is Due

• Acura Ilx pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Ilx worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Acura Ilx with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Ilx brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Acura Ilx caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Ilx corner not explained by worn pads

Frequently Asked Questions - Acura Ilx Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Acura Ilx at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Acura Ilx has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Ilx. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Ilx caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Acura Ilx after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Acura Ilx to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Ilx must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Acura Ilx.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Acura Ilx kit?

A new caliper for the Acura Ilx has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Ilx housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Acura Ilx applications.
