Its all fine buying the calipers but your still going to be running 282mm. The 300mm carriers bump the price up as there far harder to get and everyone who sells them knows this.

If the acura rl is the same brembos as the dc5 then your into big money over here.

You can buy a pair of remanufactured acura rl brembos for £200 shipped, using 300mm ep3 discs and a custom caliper bracket and you're onto a winner!

US Teg is the RSX IIRC.

Advantages I can think off

4 pot calipers
Larger disc

Disadvantages I can think off

Not a direct fit
Uses a different pad that may be harder to get over here since it wasn't an oem option on any of our cars
Was designed for 310mm discs so by taking 10mm off to use ep3 discs will there be fitting issues with pad contact area?

Be good if you could give some input as it sounds like you've done some research into this and discussion is always good.

I picked up the Acura RL link a while back (not before i bought my bloody ATR calipers!), the price for remanufactured calipers is excellent plus there's more than a few available from the states.

in terms of pads, the 10mm diameter drop should be ok, however if 310 is the origianl size i'd be tempted to scour the net and work out which discs can be used.

as for pads...they're brembo so pads won't be a problem and i wouldn't be surprised if they're the same pad for OEM DC5 brembos.
