Why not just do a core exchange for a reman caliper?

i was reading a shop manual on civic one day when i was bored at my friends house as i was about to install my integra rear brakes and i read that the rear calipers cant be rebuilt and to take it to a shop, but there were directions to rebuild the front ones.. maybe the rear ones are a lot more difficult or something

Believe me, we have our share of the good and bad, just as you do.

A lot of us over here would argue that you guys have it lucky over there, since you got cars that we will unfortunately never see Civic Type R, SiR hatchback, SiR sedan, VTi hatchback, Accord Type-R, CRX SiR, etc. - and those are just the Hondas; there are many others we didn't get from other brands.
