I purchased 93 hatch with a gsr engine. The PO told me it had had gsr rotor and calibers. The GSR rotors I bought fit fine but the GSR brake pads do not.

full size photos here.

I'm assuming the old pad was the one that was on there ? they seem the same size but the little guide that it slides in the caliper on is different, what brand are they AK seems like a no name.

 

give us the number stamped on the caliper. you may have an civic ex ek caliper/rotor since rotors are same size as gsr

 

Stamped on the caliper in four different places is:

ORG
LG
2210
5410


Do you want a a pict?

 

I purchased the new pads through a friends auto shop. He ordered them through worldpac.

akebono brake pads as274h GG

 

the caliper, if gsr or any 94-01 (excluding type r) should be stamped 17CL14VN

 

 

i would bring the old pad to an autozone or auto parts store and have them check out civic various yrs including yrs with abs for brake pad similarities

 

can you get another view from the front of the caliper?

 

should be like (not my photo) this

 

Thx everybody. When I get back home I will take a new photo.

 

good idea. I would like to narrow it down if at all possible to say 2 or 3 choices. If I ask him to show me all the brake pads for civics/integras I think they are going to show me the door.

My car does NOT have abs. Sorry I did not mention that.

 

my car wasnt equipped with abs either but i have brake master cylinder and brake calipers from and integra that did.

here is a list i grabbed from username- 94eg!

Integra NON ABS setup:
- 17CL14VN calipers w/ larger piston
- Larger/cheaper brake pads
- 10.2" rotors
- 15/16" Master cylinder

Integra ABS setup:
- 17CL14VN calipers w/ larger piston
- Larger/cheaper brake pads
- 10.2" rotors
- 1" Master cylinder

92-00 Civic/Sol w/ big front brakes NON-ABS (92-00 EX, 99-00 Si, 94+ VTEC)
- 16CL14VN calipers w/ smaller piston
- Smaller more expensive brake pads
- 10.2" rotors
- 7/8" master cylinder

92-00 Civic/Sol with ABS:
- 17CL14VN calipers with larger piston
- larger cheaper brake pads
- 10.2" rotors
- 1" master cylinder

91 Civic EX Sedan NON ABS:
- 17CL14VN calipers w/ larger pistons
- larger/cheaper brake pads
- 10.2" rotors
- 15/16" Master cylinder

after some pic ref it look like you have these regular civic ex with non abs

 

or these 99 civic ex


im leaning more towards these cuz 99 civic uses the same size rotor as integras

 

My car does not have any numbers there or the PO sanded it down and painted over with some flaky read paint and I can no longer find the number.

 

Thank you everybody. With your guys help I was able to narrow it down to a
1999 Civic EX 2 door coupe.


NOT GSR

My receipt says pfc 0465.21

If you look at the pfc website it "looks like" my pads are used on a lot of honda/acura.

My car had a spongy pedal. I just upgrade my master cylnder before my track event to
15/16th. What PITA to find. hahaha. My brakes still are not as good as I would like them
for the track. I guess I will have to save up for some aftermarket brakes.

 

your welcome. glad we could help. try upgrading to stainless steel brake lines and use motul brake fluid. btw im pretty sure you have aftermarket calipers that you can buy at autozone, o'riellys, etc

 

Sounds like you need to bleed the lines a few times. It took 3-4 after i did my caliper swap to get a nice pedal feel.
