Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

What type of brake system is used in the 2022-present Acura ILX?

The Acura ILX is equipped with an advanced hydraulic brake system, including anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBD). The system utilizes dual-piston calipers and high-performance brake pads for optimal stopping power.

What is the recommended brake pad replacement interval for the Acura ILX?

Brake pads should be inspected every 12,000 miles and replaced when the pad thickness is less than 3mm. This ensures safe braking performance and prevents damage to the brake rotors.

What is the brake rotor diameter for the Acura ILX?

The front brake rotors have a diameter of 320mm, while the rear rotors are 280mm. These dimensions are critical for ensuring proper brake caliper fitment and braking efficiency.

Does the Acura ILX support regenerative braking?

No, the Acura ILX does not support regenerative braking as it is not an electric vehicle. The braking system is purely hydraulic and relies on mechanical force for stopping power.
