Brakes: 88 Crx SI (JDM) same as 91 Prelude SI?
I have an EF7 (RHD) which someone was kind enough to tell me was an CRX Si.
I am changing my brakes and some other things in the brake area and noticed the EF8 (crxsi.com) has 2 big retaining brake clips vs the American Si has 4 small clips. Mine has 2 big retaining pad clips.
Long story short is I took my brakes off failed to take them to autozone to see if the size of a 88 CRX Si is the same as the ones on mine. I ordered brakes for an 88 CRX Si. And did a part search (using the JDM one) for the clips and a prelude came up.
The piston seal from the JDM website has the same part number as the 91 Prelude Si (USDM) along with the clips.
I know I cannot just go by japanese part numbers while looking at US parts as they are not always the same but for once some of the parts match and now I think I ordered the wrong brake pads.
Question
Does the JDM CRX Ef7 have the same size brake pad as a USDM 88 CRX Si?
If not are the JDM CRX ef7 brake pads the same size as a 91 Prelude SI?
I do have to order a new piston seal as well and I am not sure if I should go by the prelude part number (us) or the crx part number (us).
I should receive the brake pads I ordered in a couple of days so I will be able to find out eventually, but I would like to know so I can notify them that I will have to exchange them.
