Did the 1988 CRX HF have spring fingers on the outer pad as shown here:

(look at the near center of picture to see outer pad with spring finger)

Besides the spring finger difference, the width of the gutter area that the brakes rest into and slide back and forth is also different between the CVT and MT... Perhaps some other brake pads may physically install but are they too loose in the guide area.
