Does mk5 brake calipers fit mk4?

As the title says, does brake calipers from a mk5 Prelude fit on a mk4? To me the LOOK similar but thats only from looking at pictures of mk5 calipers and comparing them to mine.

Reason is it's next to impossible to find mk4 calipers here in Sweden. I have only found one place that sells them and they want £200 per caliper.. And refurbishing my old ones seems like a long shot since they are pretty far gone, wasn't able to move the piston at all with compressed air, sledgehammer, screwdriver etc etc.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Yes the front calipers are the the same so long as they are both from cars that have the 2.2 VTEC engines. I am pretty sure that all 4th and 5th gen calipers are the same.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I talking about the rear calipers, with e-brake thingys.

Rear calipers are the same on 4g and 5g, regardless of the engine size.

Perfect! I have a mate that might have some laying around too. Either way they are heaps cheaper and much more easily accessible than mk4 calipers. Thanks a lot guys!

At that price, you could probably import refurbed ones from the UK cheaper!

I have found a pair of used one for around £65 per caliper, but they look like this (not pretty):

That's the best price I'm going to get here in Sweden. I don't think it'll get much cheaper if I import them for the UK, specifically from that site as I have to return my old ones which means high shipping costs. Shipping usually goes for around £25 for a caliper if I trust the shipping costs on ebay.
