Would and should be found at MOT yes. Part of the under car test is to have someone pressurise the brake system to check the hoses ect.

Just been priced 45 for discs and 28 for pads from my local motorfactors

Theyre not mintex but a brand called solid auto? Japanese brand apparently

Anyone have any experience with them

No afraid not. I went for Brembo blanks and Brembo pads in the end. Very happy with them so far.

I plan to upgrade my 5G 2.2
So i'm on 282x23 (17CL15VN + 23T)

What do i need to put 300mm discs ?

I read ATR Calipers (17CL16VN), do i need to change the braket ?
I know its yes if i want 28th disc but if i want to keep 23mm or 25mm ?

Is the ATR calipers bolt-on on 5G with the correct thickness of disc/braket

On rockauto, i can't find the ATR calipers.
Can i put 17CL15VN calipers from Legend (38/42mm) on the 28T braket from ATR or other Acura/Honda ?


In definitive, i search cheapest way (like rockauto) to put 300mm (or more) brake (25th or 28th)


Sorry for my bad tech english.

If its 300mm your after the carrier is what needs to be changed. All depends which 300mm carrier you source on which discs you then use.
