Hello. I have a 94 Accord EX and my rear calipers are beyond rusted and need to be replaced. From looking through front brake guides (haven't found a rear specific one) it seems there are two types of caliper-- Nissin and Akebono. Now the remanufactured calipers are never specified as to what type they are, they just say the remanufacturer if anything. Does this mean that the parts are interchangeable? Would reman'd Nissins fit on a car that was originillay Akebono and vice versa? Sometimes pads do specify what type, which makes me worry about getting the wrong part. I'm doing this mailorder, so I can't inspect them first. Thanks.

As a side note, I'm assuming the rear procedure be the exact same annoyance with hub over rotor as the front, correct?
