EP3 Type R

[Nepolian]

I just fitted a set of pads in my car yesterday. The box says S2000! AFAIK all S2000 pads have been the same and is EP3/DC5 non brembo calipers. As for a particular "Bendix" part number, I don't know. But a logical conclusion would be that its the same as their listing for a S2000.

i agree with u there, last time i asked for ek brake pads and the guy was like we got ek1 sedan, hatch, ek4, i was like uhhh there all the same size but they all had different part no.

also 4got to ask for those who have done there brake pads, did they flush there brake fluid? might do the brakes tmr while im at it, is it the same way u do for ek, from back to front?

May as well. It never hurts! Most cars have the same brake bleeding procedure; starting at left rear and finishing at right front

what? I've never heard about mixing 2 types of oil to make an oil for type R's box. DC5R and FN2R and DC2R uses the OEM Honda gearbox oil without mixing it up with the other oil......

who is your mechanic? I might ask him about this...

[Philip Lee]

I used the Honda gb oil too and no need to mix.
