Wondering if there is a difference in the size of the caliper/pads used on 1:EK civics and 2: DC2 VTIR compared to EG civics

while we are here is the brake booster from an EK bigger than an EG? what about the sedans?

Thanks for any help, a quick search didnt give the exact answers i needed

Ok

EG civics (in australia) come with 242mm front discs and either rear drums or discs depending on model. Pads to suit.
(EG2 del sol crx is the exception)

Some EK civics share the same front and rear brakes disc size with a DC2 vtir. This is 262mm. But the caliper and pad design differs slightly between models....
Brake booster is 15/16th on these EKs and DC2 vtir mentioned above - larger than the EG civics.
AFAIK all EK sedans have the 15/16th brake master cylinder / booster combo as too 4 wheel discs.
