Yeah the calipers came with the carriers, thanks. Decided to go for pagid discs and will get ds2500 pads. After some reading through the forum, that seems to be a good setup.Merlin wrote:The OEM prelude calipers are good and can do the job fine (with the right upgrades and constant maintenance) but the ATR calipers and discs are a better setup. The Prelude is older and lighter than the ATR so that it why it only got the smaller brakes.
Remember you'll need the ATR carriers (or equivalent) in order to use the ATR calipers with the 300 x 28mm discs

To quote Rich from Performance Autoworks... "They're the brakes the Prelude should have come with".samurai_x wrote:I'm quite surprised the ludes didnt come with 300mm disks already.
I'm currently in the process of refurbing a set before fitting, so I can't comment just yet, but I've never had a Prelude (6x 4th gens & 1x 5th gen to date) that I've considered having adequate braking to performance ratios.

Re: S-Spec Lude
Woah... its been almost a year since i've posted anything lol
So earlier this year, I reversed into a lamp post
and this was the result...


In my defence, it was late night and the frikking light on the post was out.
Right now the car is at the bodyshop. Rear lip and bumper getting resprayed, touch of rust on rear arch, ATR calipers and discs fitted, service carried out, and had exhaust rubbers replaced as the exhaust has been rattling since I bought the car.
I've always liked the bonnet spoiler but this pic really made me think "OMG I HAVE TO GET ONE!!!"

Big thanks to Lude enthusiast and all round top bloke Brandon/ Lankysod07 for sorting me out with a bonnet spoiler! Will get this to the bodyshop to have it sprayed and fitted. Cannot wait to get the car back!

Slightly annoyed the previous owner before Brandon sprayed/scraped over the carbon effect in the middle of the bonnet spoiler. He left the bit on the edge of it just so I can imagine how nice it looked before he ruined it.

Thats all for now folks, will have more pics once I get the car back! Cheers!
