I have finally got around to getting myself a set of ATR brakes for my 5th gen, and paid a price that I was happy with. Yesterday I cleaned and painted my carriers and calipers but did not get around to fitting them.

As this is for the 5th gen I can fit the carriers and use the ATR 300 x 28mm 5 stud discs :twisted: I picked up a set of Pagid discs for £120 a pair. They come completely painted, even the disc face, so fingers crossed they wont rust up.

Just a quick before pic:

I fiited some of those discs to a friend's Ep3. I thought the paint would stink when burning off, but it just scraped
off after 2 low speed braking applications.

ATR Brakes

Post by Merlin » Tue Feb 17, 2015 9:07 am

Yeah by the time I got home last night the faces were all shiny.

I got them fitted last night.

The brakes feel very good and was very easy to swap over.
