The main reason i ask this is because an ATR already got 300 up front and 282 at the rear.
Since i'm going to an ATR setup, it would be logical to change the rear to that size aswell right?
I know the front is the main brake point and that is where the most power is to earn, that not really the point atm.
I already got ds2500 on the back btw

mondeo i thinkm rich has done the hard work already!

also the accord calipers look as if they dont have a handbrake cable input so i assume the are drum style handbrakes

but heavier and a pita to source and setup

but with an extra 200hp that extra weight will be neglible
