rear disc brake calipers
ok so im doing a rear disc conversion on my rex.
i understand how to do it simple blah blah. problem im having is i only was able to get my hands on the trailing arm with no caliper(s) rotors, pads etc.
ive been searching eveywere (forums and online shops) for either a brake kit or even just calipers, rotors n such to build up my rear brakes but i cant find calipers ANY were other then wilwood.
and to be honest they dont look all that great. there 1 piston calipers they have a kit and its like 1100$ guh. So bassicly i am wondering if you guys could please help me out with a link or advice as to were to find a non stock/ performance caliper for a rear disc conversion.
oh f.y.i the rear arms are from a 91 crx, i have an 89 crx both si models.
thnx guys

stock is the only option if you wish to keep your ebrake, unless you plan on spending **** tons of money on aftermarket calipers and a hydraulic hand brake for your ebrake. No point in upgrading to aftermarket rear calipers since the car is so light, you will lock your brakes up everywhere. Upgrade the fronts if you wish, not the rears.
well the problem with that is i have no rear brakes period as of right now so i figured since i have to spend the moeny why not get some aftermarket brakes right but the issue with that is what i mentioned above i can only find wilwoods and nothing else hence if anyone knows were i can possibly buy stock calipers or aftermarkets calipers or a brake kit??
Well how I understood it you didn't want stock calipers so I offered no advice on where to buy them. Junkyard, auto parts store, honda, craigslist, ebay, plenty of places to get stock calipers. Try the marketplace.
well no you understood right i didint have any so i figured might as well go aftermarket sin ce i need to buy some anyway....

I wouldn't suggest aftermarket rears because the cost is just WAYYYY too high for something that really is overkill. If you want some good rears, go with 10.3" rears.
hmmm ok who would you reccomend for buying something along those lines? just to give me good start on some research and shopping around
besides ebay, craigs list, and honda...?
