Honda Australia part numbers (I only asked about 2004 model):

  • Rear brake pads part number is 43022SV4G22 and priced at $160.15
ACURA TSX part numbers:

  • Front brake pads part number is 45022-SEA-J00 (2004) or 45022-SEA-J11 (2005)

  • Rear brake pads part number is 43022-SV4-G22 (2004) or 43022-S84-A50 (2005)

Apparently Honda changed the pad material on the 2005 TSX model hence difference numbers but you can use the 2005 pads on the 2003/04 (according to the TSX forum). Same probably applies in Australia but I didn't check 05 pad numbers.

So I have a perfect match for the rears - but a slightly different number for the fronts. I think it is just pad material and it will still fit perfectly.

Heck for $80US F&R I am happy to punt on it being fine. At least I have rears confirmed. Hopefully this helps people out there before they pay $320 at a Honda dealer in Aus!


By the way - still interested in thoughts on those Hawk pads!
It seems the ones listed under TSX above are not the current model used in Australia. Yfin, if you are still on here, can you let me know how you went?
