Brake pads on sale! eg4 and eg5 swappable?

[GU357]

Caliber brake pads are on-sale at Supercheap (in WA atleast) 45$ for 2 sets.
but supercheap only have them for an eg5 not an eg4.

dont the 2 cars use the same brakes?
since both had the D series engine and 242mm rotors on front and drums on the back.

yet they have different part numbers, and then the EG4 for new zealand is different again.

best thing is to take out ur current brake pads and check the dimension against this

i just had a quick look, the picture doesnt give you the dimension.

take the pads to Malz auto store, they have a book with dimension and you can see which one to order.

and EG 5 and 4 are not interchangeable.

they are all different size. so take it out and measure it again the dimension given.

is the discount on floor items only man do you know?

[connorling]

store stock only for the pads.
you can always get the price from supercheap and call auto pro or auto one and see if they can match it?

exactly!

[bennjamin]

just to let u know

EG5 refers to both Si and vti

which i believe are not compatible front pads - same disc size but calipers (and thus pads) differ slightly

best to take both left and right out of one side to the shop and compare !

[GU357]

the EG5 is an Si and a VTi?

[DreadAngel]

Yes, that's correct...

<93'? = Si
93'> = VTi

or just get the dimension of the existing pads and compare on these web sites.

The sale was for floor calibres stock items
2 sets of pads for $45
They had my rear pads... but don't make front's for Accords
Apparently only bendix do ><

[D16]

If im not mistaken, all Aus delivered EGs have the same front brakes. All fronts are 242mm, while VTi and Si have rear 239mm brakes.

Bendix DB1259 pads for Front(All Aus EGs, and EK1 3Dr Hatch)
Bendix DB1163 pads for Rear(EG5 & EG6)

DB1262 are made for EG6 with 262mm fronts

Bendix catalog is refers to overseas models aswell, hence have different listings.

[GU357]

thats what i thought.

but apparantly the caliper size is different again.

[D16]

If yours is a stock Aus EG4 im pretty sure its 242mm(DB1259)

where does it say different caliper size?

[GU357]

ahh cbf, just gonna get DC2 brake bits soon anyway.

[D16]

those are for NZ listings though, NZ have Japan imports therefore their EG5 is different.

The DB1262/DB1286 is actually the EG6/EK4 262mm brake pad, only the DB1259 will fit (242mm)

I know as Ive ordered the wrong parts before.
