well, my 90 crx had one "wide" and one "narrow" caliper on it [it should
have had two "wide"], and that was "all stock", so don't make any
assumptions!

that brake fade is still almost certainly pads, not fluid. i've
"tested" with fully loaded cars on the hills of san francisco. trust
me, some after-market pads will have you pu****ng the pedal like you're
trying to break the seat off its rails once things get warm. honda
pads, the fade is barely noticeable.
