Hi all, recently purchased an EG. The rear left calipers sprung a leak however the caliper setup all round has been modified to a big brake setup. Ive tried a 1996 Integra type r caliper and an MG zs180 caliper. Neither calipers bridge is wide enough. With a verniers the caliper currently on the car bridge measures to be 45mm. It's also a Lucas caliper. Any ideas ?

 

Which part is not wide enough? The space that sandwiches the pads and disc?

If you've tried Type R and MG, the only other one I can think of is EP3. Most lads will use them. Can you not identify the part number?

 

Not an EP3 caliper for sure. Bleeder is on the wrong side, if it was for EP3/DC5 the bleeder and line bosses would be swapped. See second photo below.

What is the piston diameter? Based on the way the "ears" are straight, It sure looks like a DC2R 9CLP14S where the common 7CLP13S caliper's ears were kind of a "W".

Edit: Found some more representative pictures:



Did you guys get aftermarket calipers for DC2R/EK9 over there? I've only ever seen new and reman Nissins over here. Also, as far as I know 96 spec R still used the 7CLP13S. Again we didn't get those here and I've messed with the 96 setup like 3 times in my whole life.

 

Lucas is another brand. So is Pagid. You'll either find non original calipers or refurbished calipers with Nissin grinded off. 96 spec DC2 uses 240mm rears, which is same as all the B series EKs.

@EGK20APOWER if you tried MG calipers, I'm assuming you're running the 260mm discs on the back. 1996 Type R won't fit for a start.

 

The caliper bridge, the part that the pads and disk fit inside of. I find it unusual that even the zs180 caliper was too narrow, it's not an ep3 as the handbrake mechanism would be upside down. Thank you for the reply though!

 

I'll get some rotor measurements today, I only tried the 7CLP13S caliper as I'm using a 4 stud setup, is it possible to fit the 9CLP14S on a 4 stud with some kind of modifications? Thanks for the reply !
