Honda FL5 Civic Type R Front Brembo Brake Pads 45022-T60-A01

Honda Front Brake Pads 45022-T60-A01 - Brembo - FL5 Civic Type R, DE5 Integra Type S & 2026 Prelude

The front brakes are where the real work happens. Every time you slow this car down from speed, weight transfers forward onto the nose and the fronts do the overwhelming majority of the stopping, while the big Brembo calipers turn all that speed into heat. On a car making the power the Type R and Integra Type S do, that's a serious job, and the front pads live with far more load and temperature than anything at the rear. This is the genuine Honda replacement set for those front calipers, the exact pad your car was built with.

Part number 45022-T60-A01 is a complete set for the front, both calipers covered, so you're replacing the axle as a matched pair the way it should be done. It's a true direct, genuine OEM replacement with no adapters, no modifications, and no fitment guesswork.

Made for the Factory Brembo Calipers

These cars run Brembo four-piston fixed calipers up front, and that hardware is a big part of why they stop the way they do. Four pistons clamp the pad evenly across a large friction surface, which gives you firm, consistent bite and the heat capacity to take repeated hard stops without fading. A pad for a caliper like that has to match it exactly in shape, backing, and compound, and that's the whole argument for the genuine part. This set drops into the factory Brembos with no fuss and clamps exactly the way Honda intended, so the pedal, the bite, and the brake balance all stay the way the car was engineered.

Why OEM Here

Honda tuned this pad's compound around the entire system: the Brembo fronts, the ABS and stability programming, and the car's street manners. Running the genuine pad gives you back the stock pedal feel, the quiet operation, and the dust and bite behavior you already know. It also keeps your front-to-rear balance correct, which matters more than people think, since a mismatched front pad can change how the car behaves right as you're loading the brakes into a corner. If the goal is to put the brakes back exactly how they came, this is the clean answer.

That said, know what this compound is for. It's the OEM street pad, built for daily driving and spirited road use, not repeated hard track sessions. If you're doing real track days and pushing the fronts into high heat over and over, a dedicated track compound is the right tool for that. For the street and for restoring factory performance, this set is exactly what you want. And unlike the rear brakes on these cars, which wear unusually fast from the chassis using them to help rotate the car, the fronts wear at a more normal, predictable rate.

Built-In Wear Indicators

The pads carry wear indicators, so they'll let you know when they're getting low. As the friction material wears down toward its limit, the indicator starts to contact the rotor and you'll hear a light squeal under braking. That's your signal to inspect and plan a replacement before you run the pad down into the backing plate and damage a rotor. On brakes that work as hard as these fronts do, it's a safeguard worth listening for.

Install Notes

Replace the front pads as an axle set, both sides together, which is what this kit gives you. Inspect your rotors while you're in there and make sure they're within spec and in good condition, because fresh pads on a worn rotor won't perform or feel their best. After install, bed the pads in properly with a series of firm, controlled stops to lay down an even transfer layer on the rotor, and you'll get quiet, consistent, fade-resistant braking from the first drive.
