My friend has a F20 sohc prelude 1999. and he has one set of calipers, they are not big as crv calipers but is it possible to put them on 262 instead of those from crv ? Thanks, im a little bit confused about combination so excuse me.
As far as I know, the CRV has same calipers as ITR, MC2/MB6 and some preludes...not completely sure though.
If you want to use the stock dx hubs, you need to mill the caliper carrier by 3.2mm because of the disc offset. I think you also need to notch the carrier in the middle of the curve so it doesn't touch the hat of the disc.
As for the pads, I don't know exactly. I suggest you just try to mount them on, they do bolt on, but you will maybe having problems with the disc because of the offset.

Don't take my info for granted mate! I haven't tried yet. I know that M calipers bolted to my Shuttle and that the offset was off by few mil...
