Disc Brake Caliper Assembly Rear Right Passenger Side - Direct Fit

In this review the reviewer tests the KAX rear right brake caliper assembly to see if it is a reliable OE-style replacement for compatible Honda and Acura models. The bottom line: this caliper is aimed at owners who need a direct-fit, complete replacement and value an assembly that includes the bracket, phenolic piston and installation hardware. It stands out for straightforward fitment across the listed models and a rust-resistant coating that promises longer service life, making it a practical choice for someone replacing a failed rear passenger caliper.

Key Features

• Vehicle Fitment: Designed to directly fit the rear right (passenger) side of Acura RDX 2013-2018 and Honda CR-V 2007-2016 and Crosstour 2012-2015, reducing compatibility guesses when ordering.
• Complete Assembly: Ships as a brand new OE replacement assembly with caliper, bracket, phenolic piston and installation hardware to simplify the install process.
• Reference Numbers: Matches common OEM reference numbers such as 43018-SWA-A10 and 43018-T0G-A00, aiding identification for mechanics and DIYers.
• Antirust Coating: The caliper surfaces are coated to resist corrosion, which can prolong service life in wet or salty environments.
• Concrete Port and Piston Sizes: Offers an M10 x 1.0 inlet, M10 x 1.25 bleeder and a 1.5 in piston OD for predictable hydraulic and fit characteristics.

Who It's For

This caliper is best for owners of the specified Acura RDX, Honda CR-V or Crosstour models who want a like-for-like, brand new replacement without sourcing individual parts. It suits independent shops and competent DIY mechanics who prefer a full assembly that includes mounting hardware and a phenolic piston for reduced brake fluid absorption.

It is not ideal for anyone driving an unsupported year or a CR-V not built in Japan for 2007-2011, or for those who need specialty performance calipers or custom piston configurations. Buyers who require pads included should look for assemblies that explicitly list pads, since this listing is for the caliper assembly without pads.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct fit for listed vehicles, which many customers reported as easy to install and reliable.
• Comes complete with bracket and hardware, saving time and extra purchases during replacement.
• Antirust coating improves longevity in corrosive conditions compared with bare cast units.
• Clear inlet and bleeder port sizes and piston OD help ensure correct hydraulic fitup.

Cons

• Some users reported mixed feedback on piston condition, including one report of warping after extended use.
• Does not include brake pads, so additional purchase may be necessary for a full brake job.

Our Verdict

The KAX rear right caliper assembly is a sensible, value-oriented replacement for owners of the supported Honda and Acura models who need a complete OE-style unit. It saves installation time by including the bracket and hardware and its antirust coating addresses longevity concerns, though buyers should be aware it does not include pads and there have been isolated reports about piston issues over longer use. For routine replacement it offers solid fit and function at a reasonable price.
