Brake swap on CRX
I'm trying to do a brake swap on the CRX.
I have a set of ITR front calipers, and am getting a set of 90-91 Civic EX knuckles as I've been told they offer the best camber (although 90-93 teg knuckles are usable).
My problem is, I bought what was supposed to be ITR rear calipers, and the person sent me Legend rear calipers. I understand they're very close, but have read you cannot use the parking brake with them?
Can anyone confirm this? Is it possible to use the parking brake with them somehow? Anyone have ITR rears for sale?

Re: Brake swap on CRX
Ok, I have DC5 rear calipers.
The "swap x brake onto" thread says I will need to convert to 5-lug. However, the EP5 uses basically the same calipers and has 4-lug wheels.
Has anyone done this swap?
