Big Brakes TL 6spd

[Elite]

Did anyone else notice that the new TL 6spd's all have a Big Brake setup? A friend of mine and myself noticed it on one of the TL's at the Chicago auto show. We thought it may be a special show add-on for the show. But we looked at all the other 6spd's and they all had what looked to be a Brembo setup. They were black and they said Acura on them. None of the Auto's had the big brake setup. Anyone know if this is something that is standard with the 6spd's? My friends first question was "can you put those brakes on the NSX?".... don't know? Anyone know anything about this?

I think all 6-speed have it. I dont think it is an option on the autos. Too bad.

This is straight from Honda's media website.

TL's equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission feature a limited slip differential and 4-piston Brembo front brakes. TL's with the manual transmission can also be equipped with high performance tires for an additional $200.

Confusing that the Halo car is still equiped with the 2 piston brake kit.
