Hi all,
Which specs and models of 8th generation accord receive dual piston front brake caliper?
Are these dual piston brake calipers for the front brakes standart on all 2.4 petrol manual gearbox for european market or ?

ATE is a brake manufacturer, link here https://www.ate-brakes.com/
The hammerhead pads are these ones, https://www.ate-brakes.com/products/disc-brakes/ate-original-brake-pads/ for obvious reasons.

The twin piston ones are Nissin manufacture not ATE, I don't know which models had them but I do know that some of the 2.2 high power versions and the 2.4 had them.
Brakes on the Accord are not easy to classify, like the rear handbrake brakes, some are drum and disc and some are just disc, and there seems to be no way of knowing until you have a look yourself.

@Bounder.
The rear brakes on the Accord Tourer are Drum and disk. In that the handbrake acts on two shoes in a drum configuration, while the foot brake acts on the disk part of the drum as a normal caliper disk arrangement.
The saloon has normal disk brakes and the handbrake acts through the caliper.

Its not as simple as Tourer = Tophat drum in disc and Saloon = disc ,
Some tourers have disc only handbrake and some saloons have drum/disc setups.
Look at this saloon EPG it has drum and disc rear brakes.

And this Tourer has rear disc handbrakes only.

Mine is a dtec 150 saloon and has got drum/disc rear brakes.

Even when I wanted to buy the rear or front brakes my part supplier threw a question on me to find out whats the diameter of the discs, as they have 2 different sizes for my car...

It really is the case of checking the part first, also my bushes for the rear sway bar were as a choice of 2 sizes, 16mm and I think 25mm...nothings easy isnt it ?

in addition to this, rear wheel bearings are also two different breeds. one is smaller other is bigger. those are usually depends on what type of rear brakes you have.
