Do second hand accord calipers come with the carriers generally?

What pads did you use in the end?

generally they com with carrieres, but before you buy a set, would ask for a complete set with pads/ carriers and bolts!

Had a look on the carbon Lorraine site. Their rc6 seems pretty decent, anyone used those compared to the rc5+?

Update just for the infomation

i ave test fitted the caliper to the car all that was needed was a trim to the heat sheild.

The clearance of the carrier and disk is fine but a little offset which can be sorted with very little machining ( if you want to go to the trouble of doing this which i will be ) also note the metal spring clips that hold the pads in was very close to the disk which a little bit of bending will sort this out
