Oh damn, i got DC5 alloys on my lude, will it be fine with these?

17s so no problems there bud.

Even the OEM 16” saw blades wheel fit fine too.

Really? That’s good news for me.

The ATR setup is fantastic for the track. They even just fit under the OE 16inch 5th gen wheels (not the sawblade ones, the left/right handed ones). Not cheap or easy to get hold of though.

Otherwise, decent discs/pads all round, along with a bleed and make sure the rears are not seized is a good way to ensure brakes feel good. One thing i often find on cars with bad brakes is that the pads have been absolutely rammed into the carrier, and have no free movement at all. Same on the rears - they can affect the feel of the fronts aswell, and make sure the handbrake has been tightened.

Decent

So ive found a braker and he wants £170 for the ATR callipers and carriers!

Will have to get discs and pads next month though!

Based on what you have all said i will go for standard discs and pads all round to be fair, i only drive it on the roads and dont plan on taking it on track!

Yes I tried my OEM 16" on Peter (Toyracer69)'s ATR and it was close but they do fit.

I’ve seem go for up to £250. Cheap ones are either because there knackered or seller doesn’t know what the have. Carriers alone are worth the £50.

If you are sticking with standard size 282mm discs then you re-use the standard prelude carriers and it all fits under standard lude wheels.
If you want the the atr carriers and atr pads, than you need to go up to 300mm discs.
