Hi guys, i'm wondering if the calipers from a RX, 4 pistons, can fit or an be installed in a protege with 4 disc brakes. Rear calipers I believe they are the same size, but the front calipers comes with 4 pistons and maybe can be set in the protege.
What would be the steps to follow and the parts to upgrade too.
I appreciate a lot your posts.
regards

You would prob need the caliper mount from the RX, or even the front spindle setup.

what other upgrades to your braking system will you be doing to offset the difference in hydraulic pressure multiplication?
going from say 100 lbs appied force to a 1 inch piston to 400 lbs force out of a 4 inch pistion on the out
to now getting 100lbs applied to a 1inch pistion and now having 4 3/4 inch pistions and now only getting 300lbs of force on the out
of course the numbers arent actual based on specs of the brake system but its the hydraulic principals at work, and working less in your favor
