How big are the calipers meant to be on an EM1? When i got new brake pads, The guys ordered the stock pads for my car and when they tryed to fit them, they were too small. I was told that my calipers were not standard and had been swapped to something bigger.
The mechanics ended up measuring it and sending the specs to the brake place and they ended up fitting honda accord pads which turned out fitted perfect. Never heard of accord calipers on an EM1 befor though...so am just wondering if they are actually accord calipers or something different?
I measured the calipers, from top to bottom they are 180mm. My discs seem to be stock still. (around the 260mm mark) Also people have commented that my brake booster seemed bigger than ussual. (I just went and had a closer look at the brake booster and it says 'Findlex nm260v-3' on it) Is this wat is written on other peoples booster????
just to clarify the measurement if anyone is a bit slow...i mean this way:

(^^NOT MY ACTUAL RIMS....I WISH!!^^ :p)
I have lost contact with the dude i bought it off though so i can't ask him wat he changed it to.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of wat they could be off? Or are the mechanics just stupid and they are actually stock calipers.
Thanks for your help,
