Modified civic nightmare
 

a few years ago i bought a lowered 95 honda civic dx coupe. only in the last year i have started having problems with it. can't get an alighnment because it was lowered and no one put an adjustable camber on front and back. all the steering and suspension components keep breaking. i have no clue what car my spindles came from and the hub on the front driver side was completely destroyed by the bearing. could not find replacement parts. bought a 95 civic hub bought a bearing at napa that would fit the spindle took the hub to a machine shop so the could built it up to fit into the bearing. fixed that. now my brakes on that same wheel are shot. the disk was destroyed already. bought a new 95 civic dx disk. it fit with the brake pads and caliper. then today those break pad fell out while driving. bought new pads for 95 civic dx. incompatible with my caliper. i have a nissin 16cl14vn caliper. i dont know what pads to buy for it. what disk to get or clips for the pads. where did they come from? and maybe that might tell me where my spindle is from

Will a stock caliper (with bracket) fit on your steering knuckle? If so you could put all stock brake parts on and know what you have. If the knuckles are different than stock, consider replacing with ones from a parts car. Consider restoring to stock height too.

i was hopin to just be able to find the brake pad for it so i can put it on and sell it. everything else is fine on it now i just dont want to deal with modified hondas anymore if i cant communicate with the people who did it

no the stock caliper wont fit the spindle. its to small

Im just shooting in the dark but have you checked to see if those are Si spindles or maybe even Integra Spindles? You can cross check the part numbers at a parts store to se if they match up then you would have a better idea of what they put on there

the spindles don't seem to have a part number anywhere on them

See if you can cross check the P/N on the caliper that should give you somewhat of a better direction to go on

16CL14VN calipers are from a '93-95 Civic EX 2dr non-ABS, '94-97 del Sol VTEC, '02-06 RSX base, and '07-08 Fit. They take an FMSI D621 pad.
