hey guys,just wondering if any of you have upgraded the brakes on your diesels?finding mine pretty poor on anything other than leisurely drives.any suggestions for different make pads/discs/fluid/calipers welcome.

I may be wrong but I believe that until your warranty period is up you must fit Honda genuine replacement parts only.

Personally I was wondering if the Type R brakes were uprated from the diesels and if these would be a worthwhile upgrade?

I find the brakes on mine fine, what is it you don't like about them?
