CRV vs Type R brakes

[k20man]

Hi Guys

i just bought a k20a2 motor and got CRV front brakes thrown in with it after some bargaining at no extra cost..
I am putting this into a EG civic..
My question is.. is there any disadvantage to using the CRV brakes compared to using the Type R brakes on the civic?
Would it be worth me selling the CRV and buying Type R brakes.. or maybe will the stock civic EG brakes do the job?:thumbsup:

front brakes disc/caliper, the crv and type r are the same size with later model crv bigger
282mm size disc for both
300mm for newer models

Do you think it is worth getting the back ones as well?
i know it might be weird looking if there is 5 studs at the front and only 4 at the back.. but im limited on my money

If i should get back brakes as well.. am i better off getting the CRV like the front.. or go for the type r back brakes?:honda:

pretty sure they are identical specs..
just like the 1st gen crv and the DC2

I would just mod the callipers and get some blank rotas and have them drilled 4 stud rather than trying to put the whole CRV assembly in the front of the car (is that even compatible :confused: ).
Do not use the current CRV rotas if you’re drilling them to 4 stud it can be unsafe.

EDIT: Interesting info the DBA part number for front CRV brakes and ITR are the same

specs are the same..
but the control arms and hub mount points are different
