Default Del Sol brake calipers - What does the code KY mean?

Working on my brakes and the manual shows the calipers I have apply to "KY only"

Only other reference I can find is (EH6: KP/KT/KY)

Is it an identifier for an Si?

here are some snips from the manual it is a First edition Del Sol (still referred to as a CRX on the cover). Printed in 92 so it pre-dates US models.

Model info page




Brake section


I think I've figured out the caliper mount difference, it seems the non-abs models use a bracket that is open on the outside while the abs models have the bar across them. Thus the non-abs calipers have 4 clips instead of 2.

I assumed the ky parts were more expensive so they came with "KY jelly".
