[vteccoupe]

hi guys...was tinking of DIY changing e brake pads on my 97 VTI civic coupe. went to several stores but they dnt have specific brake pads for coupe. Are the brake pads same among all the civic range no matter sedan or hatch?please advice!

I think they run the same ones as EK hatch......not 100% sure though, but you can always just go to a garage and ask i suppose..

Hey man when I went to repco to get some brake pads it turns out the front discs brakes were off a Honda Accord? Dunno if they use they same part for coupe's or whateva? Just take off one of your pads and get them to match it up against there little diagram book of honda pads. and I assure you its listed as an Accord Pad.

I got bendix advance. the accord ones actually turned out cheaper, than civic ones :)

Not sure what model accord, although just take off one of your pads, drive down in a different car obviously and they have the massive book with scetched outlines of brake pads. Gt em to flick through it and match up your brake pad to a matching picture. And I bet your bottom dollar it ends up being a 96 - 98 Honda accord. Rembering that scince coupes come from US, then maybe they just wacked on some accord brakes for some unknown reason :)

BTW don't let em tell ya different, the guy was like
"na na na It has civic ones, here take these" was like cxi hatch or something. Suprise they didn't fit. I went back and he was like "ohhhhhhh. ummmmmm let me check" flicks through and it matches the accord one.
"Wow it must have accord brakes?"

Or maybe your just stupid and your catalog is crap and you don't list USDM civic models you crab. Sheesh

hmmm well maybe this is a stupid question but err.... why not just put on some other kinda brakes like Brembo or something... *dun flame me into roast lamb >_<*
