Honda Rear Brake Pads for FL5 Civic Type R/DE5 Integra Type S

Honda Rear Brake Pads 43022-T60-A01 - FL5 Civic Type R, DE5 Integra Type S & 2026 Prelude

On the Type R and Integra Type S, the front Brembos get all the attention, but the rear brakes are doing constant, important work every time you drive. The rear pads set your brake balance, feed the stability and traction systems the bite they expect, and work with the electronic parking brake. Here's what catches a lot of owners off guard: these cars use the rear brakes far more than a normal car does, and the rear pads and rotors wear out fast because of it. This is the genuine Honda replacement set, the exact pad your car left the factory with.

Part number 43022-T60-A01 is a complete set that does both rear wheels. It's a true direct, genuine OEM replacement. No adapters, no modifications, no guessing on fitment.

Why the Rear Brakes Wear So Fast on These Cars

It's not a defect, it's how the car works. The FL5 and DE5 use their brake-based handling and traction systems constantly, not just in emergencies. To sharpen turn-in and manage grip, the car lightly applies the inside rear brake through corners during everyday driving, quietly helping rotate the chassis. You never feel it happening, but your rear pads do. The result is that rear pads and rotors on these cars can be worn out surprisingly early, sometimes as soon as 20,000 miles, even on a car that never sees a track. So if your rears are done well before you'd expect, you're not doing anything wrong. That's just the price of the way these cars drive, and it's smart to keep a set on hand and check the rears early and often.

Why OEM Here

There's a real case for keeping the rear corners factory. Honda engineered this pad's compound to match the car's front-to-rear brake balance, its ABS and stability tuning, and its everyday street manners. That means the stock pedal feel you already trust, quiet operation, and the dust and bite behavior the car was designed around. Swap in a mismatched aftermarket pad on just the rear and you can upset that balance in ways you'll feel mid-corner. If your goal is to put the brakes back exactly how Honda set them up, this is the straightforward answer.

Be clear-eyed about what these are, though. This is the OEM street compound, tuned for daily driving and the occasional spirited day. If you're running repeated hard track sessions and cooking the rear brakes, a dedicated high-temperature track pad is the better tool for that job. For street driving and restoring factory feel, these are exactly right.

Built-In Wear Indicators

The backing plates carry mechanical wear indicator tabs, so the pads tell you when they're getting low. As the friction material wears down to its limit, the tab starts to contact the rotor and you'll hear a light squeal under braking. That's your cue to inspect and plan a replacement before you run the pad into the backing plate and score a rotor. Given how quickly the rears go on these cars, that's a safeguard worth paying attention to.

Install Notes

Always replace rear pads as an axle set, both sides together, which is exactly what this kit covers. Inspect your rotors while you're in there, and on these cars the rotors often wear right along with the pads, so plan on checking them closely rather than assuming they're fine. Bed the new pads in properly after install with a series of moderate stops to lay down an even transfer layer, and they'll reward you with quiet, consistent braking.
