EM1 Brakes

[RtN]

hey was wondering what other cars use the same front pads as the em1? because sometimes its hard to find the application for the em1 ._.

lol, join the club, I went to my mech yrs ago when I needed a front set for my coupe and the problem was, we got the Bendix ones for the Honda Civic, Prelude, Integra and all didnt fit, ended up having to put it off for 3 days and have Honda ship up a set from Melb. lol, nothing seems to fit

OEM FTW lol

altho if you do want an aftermarket set for an EM1, my mate is running Endless pads on his and they fit up just fine, but compared to stock same price (PM Edward on EDVance OZHonda trader)

i think the later model EK1 (99-00) are the same as EM1 and EK4

welcome to the club mate! the EM-1 can have 3 different brands of calipers depending on when exactly it was manufactured. your choises are AKEBONO, SUMITOMO or NISSIN. Mine is from ausgust '99 and the calipers are NISSIN. I had to buy new pads recently and the best I could come up with was taking the pads off and matching them to the drawings you can print off at BENDIX'S website. Once you match your pads to an aftermarket pad (no matter what band they are) any brake shop will be able to find the one that suits in the brand that you like.

Hope this helps!

get onto the bendix website and you can download printouts ....rip out a pad and match it to the options you have there.
Then you can order a set. And it doesn't have to be a bendix brand either and other brands such as EBC can match from the bendix code.
Bendix usually also has the variants eg KEBONO, SUMITOMO or NISSIN. But not sure about em1...
Anyway...you can also take the pad to a brake shop when you get your rotors machined and they will match you up a new pad.
