Hello guys, I've bought a car Honda Civic EJ9.
It has some problems but all in all its ok.
I mentioned that brake pads rub on brake disc on the right side and after it becomes hot it has noise. Inspite of Im loosing my brake pads I think it also affects on fuel consumption.
Any ideas how to resolve the problem?

No brake pads are ok, I think problem is when I use brake, after that brake pads dont return to there previous position.
Re: Problem with brake pads.
Check if the pads is for your car.
Because civics used to have 2 type of brake pads.
One for 240mm discs and one for 262mm discs

Re: Problem with brake pads.
Today I disintegrate my car. Wheels, brake pads and I found that the piston which put presure on brake pads was rusty, thats why it didnt come back to its normal position. so now I remove rust and it works better, but I need to buy new one or change everything.

Ahh you're brake caliper piston is worn out .You can buy a revision set for the calipers with a new piston and rubber seal so you can replace them.
But they are expensive afaik...

Re: Problem with brake pads.
one fast question. Do you know whether the civic si ex usdm version with still the 260mm discs have smaller pads? I ordered a brake disc pads combo from usa and the pads (axxis semi metalic) are smaller to mines (ferodo). The seller says the are the right ones and i believe him. I tried to put them on and they are clearly have smaller surface on the discs and need some slight modification to fit. Have a look

Re: Problem with brake pads.
They don't fit because the american ex civics have smaller-different callipers than european civics with 262mm discs.
It is dangerous to install them at your callipers.
Once when changed the brakes the garageman installed smaller pads and then I didn't have almost any brakes.

Re: Problem with brake pads.
I bought used brake calipers in good condition. now I want to paint them in red. And also I bought EBC brake pads, I search on there web site by model. after I received I realised that they are smaller than original ones. Be careful when choosing from EBC web sites.
