Weird Question but....EX to DX front brake swap...
This is odd, but it's a chance for me to make some dough and get all new brake hardware up front so...
Would there be any drawbacks to swapping from EX front brakes to DX minus the size difference? I was offered 2 new DX calipers with all new hardware and cash on top for my front brake assemblies in trade. Would there be any big braking difference...My car is stock otherwise and i don't do any hard driving other than the ocassional gas stomp..
?

i wouldn't do it...honda gave the ex bigger calipers for a reason. In my opinion brakes are key in DD...i've got a pretty good brake setup which has saved me from many accidents.

I would not do it, the EX MC will give too much pressure than the DX brakes can handle and will most likely warp your rotors.
