Ok so here's the deal.

I bought a molested 90 crx si. I was doing the front brakes yesterday I went to autozone and got some duralast gold pads and rotors (can't complain i didn't expect to keep civic brakes too long anyways)

Now lemme tell you when i first got the car the brakes were great! The pedal was very touchy and it stopped awesome I just had warped rotors and the pads were low

So I get these pads and rotors for a 90 crx si and the pads don't fit! So I got some calipers/caliper brackets from some spare 91 cvici si hubs my buddy had in his garage and they were indeed different! I put the new pads and rotors on and holy crap do these brakes suck.. the rotors are great they don't shimmy at all but I have to stomp the **** out of the pedal to slow down from high speeds! BEfore my brakes would lock the tires no problem! These I couldn't lock the tires up.

So basically I want to know what other calipers fit a dx/si hub? The calipers and brackets were different the calipers from the civic si used a 12mm bolt to hold them in.. these other calipers used a 14mm bolt. The rotors were the same just the pads were different. I wan't to put these back on though! They are way better than the civic si calipers and 13s still fit over them!!

 

help please (:

 

It would help if you would tell us what the stamping on the calipers is.

Or maybe you just didn't bleed the new calipers thoroughly.

BTW, CRX Si uses a different fromt caliper from the Civic Si.

I'll try to get the stamping info.. but I have the calipers at a buddy's house.


I ordered the pads for a 90 crx si and used 91 civic si calipers/brackets they were the same.

I don't think I had 90 crx si calipers. I bled the brakes very well, the pedal doesn't go down far at all, it's just very stiff. i have to push very hard to lock them up.

 

i would try 90 teg brakes/rotors
