Does Ek4 brake pads fit EK1?
do any other pads from any other cars fit?

no ek4 calipers are larger than the ek1's(unless you're talking about facelift sedans)

thanks vinny!
so does the EK CXI/GLI pads interchange with any other hondas?

and are EK4, EK9, and DC2VTi-R calipers the same size?

ek4 and dc2 are
ek9 and dc2r are the same

not sure about the interchangeability of the ek1 pads, maybe eg's?
why even bother trying to find out whether you can get it from another car, just ask for pads for your year and model

yes I have an EK hatch
so I could buy any DC2 (except type R) pads and it'll go straight on

which ek1 do u have? afaik cxi are different to the rest and are not compatible with gli pads

easiest way to find out wud be to go on the bendix website and see which models have the same part number

and are EK4, EK9, and DC2VTi-R calipers the same size?

EK Cxi and Gli are different.

EK Gli are like DC4/EK4/EG6 262mm and has rear disc.
EK Cxi is like EG4 242mm, drum brakes for rear.

EK9 is the same with DC2R 282mm.

knuckles are different too, as they accommodate different size calipers.

in regards to pads

Ek1 have their own
ek4 and dc4 are the same
vtir and 96spec jdm itr are the same
ek9 and dc2r are the same

Imo best upgrde would be to get Ek4 hubs second hand with rotors and pads.
set u back around 300ish + labour. Much better braking than Ek1
also consider converting rear drum into disc.
dont forget to change booster + master, and prop valve
