Morning,

Attempted to change the front discs and pads and couldn't get the caliper pistons back on both sides! I then took it to a local trusted garage and they have the same issue! They have said I'll need replacement calipers but trying to find them is like hen's teeth!

Do you guys know if the various repair kits I have seen on the web will do the job? or where I can source two new front calipers?

it might be a sign that I need to upgrade the brakes! if so, does anyone know of a good - reasonably priced - after market improvement?

any help appreciated!

cheers
Rich
 
I thought ATR brakes are an upgrade, I was looking for repair kits too, seems Honda discontinued the seal kit, hope you get sorted.
 
I bought a repair kit for mine from ebay, the seller is brakes international, I got a local mechanic to fit it, it is a big job though if the pistons are seized and fiddly to put the new pistons plus the seal in but anyone who is a Honda specialist, it is a hour to two hour job for them. I haven't had any issues since refurbishing mine :)
