Acura Rsx Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Acura Rsx seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Rsx 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 Rsx 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 Rsx together.

What Is Included in the Acura Rsx Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Acura Rsx

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Acura Rsx Is Due

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Acura Rsx Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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