Accord Type-R Calipers

[Relentless]

Hi,

Just wondering if its worth the upgrade and if so what will I need to complete the upgrade in full?

Thanks

I've heard it's very good. 6th Gen Type R Callipers are a straight swap for 7th gen.

A little more costly option is the type-S from the 8th gen. They are also a straight swap but you'll need the larger discs too. The larger discs plus the larger twin pot callipers is supposed to pack a real punch. A couple of guys here have done it, have a search with Google Custom Search (forum's own search is pap ).

Big difference Chris, go for it mate, has mine for over two years now - been a few times during emergency braking I am able to stop very quick to a point the car behind has to really brake hard lol, had a few shocked faces on the motorway lol

Thanks for the replies, I'll weigh up the costs for both options

If you do it you need the carriers too.

The guy who serviced my car told me its not worth it, he said OEM discs, Ferodo 2500 pads, new fluid and HEL lines is all you need so I'm probably just going to do that
