I searched but only found generic threads.

My Question is:

How can you tell which type of calipers are on your car?

I have a 93 accord lx 4dr sedan and have the understanding that their are two different types of calipers.

 

LX / SE / DX SEDANS & COUPES = Manfactured by: AKEBONO Reference# 97589 (R), 97592 (L)

EX SEDANS & COUPES = Manufactured by: AKEBONO Reference# 97589 (R), 97592 (L)

Honda parts calls out the same Calipers on all SEDAN and COUPE applications.
IE: DX/LX/SE and EX

The wagon, however, calls up a different one
DX / LX / SE and EX WAGONS = Manufactured by: NISSIN Reference# 102500 (R) 102501 (L)

Some 90-93's have akebonos others have Nissin's. I believe the nissins are marked and the akebonos aren't. Peak your head down on the front of the caliper and look for either nissin or nothing.

It might be that the akebono's are marked and the nissins aren't but I am pretty sure the nissins are.

 

As I said:
The Sedans and Coupes have the AKEBONO's installed
The Wagons have the Nissins installed. (Larger Piston I would presume.)

But I have seen some coupes and sedans with nissins...I would just look and get the right parts the first time.

 

Sweet.

Thanks for the info!
