![]() ![]() Granted I haven't used them before, but some friends have. If they fit, I think we should do a group buy on those one day, have them shipped via sea or something.Īs for EBC Greenstuff - I have to say, the advertisements are good haha. Actually brake pads are quite heavy to carry, a set of fronts and rear are easily a few kilos. As you said not sure if TSX fronts will fit but I would imagine so :) Here's hoping. Hopefully this helps people out there before they pay $320 at a Honda dealer in Aus! )īy the way - still interested in thoughts on those Hawk pads!Ĭool. Heck for $80US F&R I am happy to punt on it being fine. I think it is just pad material and it will still fit perfectly. So I have a perfect match for the rears - but a slightly different number for the fronts. Same probably applies in Australia but I didn't check 05 pad numbers. Rear brake pads part number is 43022-SV4-G22 (2004) or 43022-S84-A50 (2005)Īpparently 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). Honda Australia part numbers (I only asked about 2004 model):įront brake pads part number is 45022SEAJ01 and priced at $157.75 Well I think I may have matched up some part numbers! ONe more question - can anyone confirm 100% that the TSX pads fit the Euro? I think it should - here are the dimensions for the TSX (looks like in inches) if anyone can compare to the Euro I would be grateful Thickness here (): Hmmm - so which ones would you go for? OEM TSX, Hawk or EBC? I can get the EBC greens front and rear for only $112US but I am a bit wary about those given one so so review in this thread and some fitment issues euroaccord13 has mentioned. Not sure if it is worth double the OEM price. The other option that seems quite popular on the TSX are the Hawk HPS pads but I can't seem to find anyone who has reviewed these in Australia.ĭoes anyone have a view on these ()Hawk pads - they cost about $140US front and rear. (Yes, I know we are being ripped off in Australia). The OEM Acura TSX pads are only $80US (front and rear). Given the OEM dealer price in Aus for front and rear Euro pads (about $320AUD) I plan to buy some front and rear pads whilst I am in the USA. As mentioned previously the dealer has not yet given a reason for the warping.įor Honda to agree to the replacements under warranty, they may be aware of an issue. The disc's were machined under warranty, but by about 40k they had started to do this again so Honda replaced both front disc's & put in new front pad's also. I had no issue's with my brakes until around the 25k mark, when I started to notice a vibration through the steering wheel under brakes. Warping can be caused by any number of reasons though they are generally temprature related. ![]() I experienced it before last time when I was washing my first car as a noob, I sprayed the disc and it smoked, I thought it was cool but it warped my disc LOL! Again top off the master cylinder and go bed in your new pads and enjoy.Brake disc warp is when the disc have not been bed in properly and it is not straight anymore, also, many people don't know but say when you finished driving and you go wash your car and spray water at the disc, the disc will wrap due to the sudden change in temperature where the disc is not able to dissipitate the heat evenly. Otherwise you will have the sensation of no brakes until the fluid is redistributed. ![]() Remember to pump the brake pedal several time during the first braking cycle as you have to pump enough brake fluid to the pistons to make them move. Top off your master cylinder with brake fluid. Repeat the same process for the other wheel. This all assumes your rotors are within serivce limits and/or are not warped. Fit your new pads in the caliper and mount the caliper. Remove them from the caliper, clean out the pin wells in the caliper (brake parts cleaner and a handful of Q-Tips works well here) and the pins, relube everything with synthitic brake grease and reassemble. Now is a good time to service your caliper slider pins. Pressing the pistons back into he caliper will displace the brake fluid behind them which is why you created empty space in your master cylinder by removing some brake fluid before you pressed the pistons back into the caliper. Leave the old pads in the caliper and compress the pistons back into the caliper with a tool of your choice (c-clamp, vise grips, etc) against the old pads. ![]() A turkey baster (never to be used again for food preparation), syringe, Mity Vac, etc) will take out a few ounces. Open the master cylinder lid and remove a small portion of the brake fluid. ![]()
