Hey, what are the main differences between the two? What are the trouble spots you've run into when doing the conversion?

ok, well if so, are the EX calipers bigger and better than the DX. I would think so right, i mean they have to stop a heavier car with a more powerful engine than the D15b7.

am i right?

I believe Si/SiR brake calipers are bigger than DX calipers. As for EX/Si calipers, I don't think they are larger. We have a CDN Si and I think all the braking components are the same compare to my DX hatch.

I believe your CDN SiR is our USDM SI.
