HELP! Will RSX Front brake pads FIT AUD DC5 TYPE R ??

[cazz]

Im currently looking for a set of new Front brake pads for my dc5 type r. I went to supercheap to order a set of bendix pads and they ended up being the wrong ones, (their stuff up) so i checked the bendix site and it actually states "INTEGRA 1997-NOW" and the part number which is DB1206. So i ordered those thinking OK ive got the right ones now. After i had received them, i tried to fit them but again they were the wrong ones also!

So now im confused? so i did a quick search on ebay U.S and they seem to have the same shape pads on their RSX S as we do for our DC5 Type R. So im thinking are they the same/will they fit ?? Very frustrating when you need to get front pads ASAP!!

Well im getting alot of both yes and no answers from people saying that even AUD type s pads will fit onto a type r so to make it clear, ive posted a pic ive taken of my Front pad off my DC5 TYPE R and above, what bendix thought was for my type R but clearly isnt, because it is too long and the straight edges wont go into the caliper.

DC5 FRONT brake pads are the same as S2000 pads. Take those wrong pads back and swap it for these:

Also these are RSX Type S pads. Again, looks pretty damn similar: http://i313.photobucket.com/albums/ll368/fashionmeanie/IMG_0522-1.jpg

Wrong pads, those actually look like pads from DC2 Type R.

Well according to bendix those pads fits type R from 97-NOW.... maybe a DC2, but certainly not a DC5.

As michaelz has mentioned, you'll need to buy the ap1 s2000 front pads. i've swapped pads between my ap1 and dc5r without problems.

Like I said in my PM!

Like I said in my PM!

i saw your type S pads, they will not fit my car dude.

There is a difference between an RSX-S and an AUD TYPE S also.

The pads you got mate are for the DC2.
Go to bursons or watever and ask for S2000 Fronts Brake Pads from Bendix and they'll be the one's that fit your DC5R =)
RSX-S fits our Type R
RSX Base doesn't i believe.

Hope that helps

Just ordered a pair of ap1 s2000 front pads from bendix, well see if i get the right ones this time.. :s

SUCCESS! Ordered S2K pads and went on first go! Thanks for the help guys much appreciated :)

[paogrin]

the small ones are in some records as the S2000 brake pads. Easier to take your pads off and take them down to the shop. or take a photo to the autoshop coz they have a big book with whats what in there.

Will these pads fit a AUDM DC5 type R?

Want a tip?

Whenever your look for brake pads anywhere at a store (autobarn etc), ask for AP1 S2000 pads as they will fit gurantee. Some reason everytime you ask for DC5 pads there's always a shit load of confusion....
So either just order Acura RSX-S Pads from the states or get S2000 pads (which fit our front pads) Please keep in MIND im unsure if rears are the same

98% sure yes as all 2002-2006 RSX-S carry the same brake calipers.
S2000 use the same front brakes pads as we do for our DC5R

Please make sure when you buy of eBay and your buying from the states that your buying pads for the RSX-S and not the base as then the pads you buy will not fit.

Thanks man ^

Dc5 and s2000 ap1 are the same
