Good point - I don't know what the chassis codes are, so I was going by engine. Apparently that's a different 2.2 vtec though now I check.
So it's a CH1 chassis according to Wikipedia?
They don't do any brakes for CH1 with a 2.2 engine according to that catalogue (although there are mintex brakes and pads listed for type r's on eBay?

)

Are the carriers the same as legends? They have the same 'ears' either side of the pad shims that I remember seeing on the atr carriers I have buried somewhere waiting refurb...

So MBA 1208?

EDIT:

great reply carrisma, agree with you

CH1 is the ATR so I've no idea what they're on about

Legend carriers accomodate a 28mm disc, same as the NSX. Preludes are 23mm. I've now idea how much different that would make.

I'm sure some people would notice an extra 5mm though OIIIOIIII

EDIT: I think you were actually asking Accord vs Legend? Which I think bar the ATR were 25mm.

@Merlin might know for sure.

Yes, was asking if leg end carriers are the same as atr carriers.

The "Ears" from a Prelude and ATR carriers look identical in design, although admittedly I didn't attempt to match them up to see if the overall length varies. I'll do that tonight.

Again, I still this the overall shape could easily be redesigned. It's obviously the clippy bits and the overall span that matters. I was hoping this was going to be a straight forward question, but evidentally I'm not the only one that's struggled

I know genuine Honda parts are generally quite expensive, but that is ridiculous for a small pressed piece of spring steel!

I think I might just clean up the existing ones I have
