Rear SI Brake Swap

Is it possible to swap the rear brake equipment out of an 02 si onto a n 01 civic or is the rear suspension different.

2 things...

1. will the rear calipers from the rear 02 si fit a 15 inch rim
2. will the stock caliper with upgraded pads and rotors be just as good in the front as a aftermarket caliper?

the reason why i ask is because my 00 si honda rims are 15 inch and i wanted to race on those and not my 18 inch vx-8's.

any input?

The 02 civic si comes on 15" rims, so yes they would fit on your stock 15" rims.

where can you get the rear calipers for a 1.7 el since it's only in canada and some of us are from state side? also, will you have to upgrade your master cylinder with the new 1.7 el calipers?
