I've had them both out today in my hand and I was about to post but my outcome was different lol,

The diesel piston was bigger by 1mm diameter and a lot longer than the EP3 piston, I didn't measure

I'm surprised. Is the EP3 same as the FN2? I remember the derv caliper being just smaller all together. But I don't have both of them any more for a comparison. Maybe you could post the piston diameters here?

I've put the diesel caliper piston back in now I was only seeing if I could use the seals and piston as a temp while my new set came, but there all different completely unfortunately,

The EP3 piston was 54mm diameter and 56mm in length

The diesel piston was near 55mm diameter and I didn't measure the length but it was roughly 20mm longer

I changed to CTR calipers on my derv. Was that just a snake oil [emoji24]

It wasn't just snake oil. The bigger disc diameter increases stopping torque even if the force applied is the same. Also you can use pad compounds that are not available for the derv set up. In my opinion it is a good cost effective upgrade for a standard derv which is fitted with barely capable brakes from the factory.

since fitting mine I feel like I have brakes, far more feel therefore more confidence in them over oem, I wouldnt go back now if a new set was given to me.

Hey fellas, im about to purchase EP3 calipers from breakers as theyre quite cheaper than FN2. I would need bigger splash guards (fn2 ones) and new set of disks and pads. Am I missing anything else for complete swap?

You don't need bigger guards you can bend the existing ones clear of caliper and disc, I believe the fn2 ones don't even fit without modding in any case.
