Brake System – Honda Civic 7th Gen (2001–2005)

In the Honda Civic 7th Generation (2001–2005), the brake system plays a crucial role in ensuring safety and stopping performance in all driving conditions. Properly matched brake discs, pads, hoses and caliper repair kits guarantee stable, reliable braking both in everyday city use and during high-speed or dynamic driving.

This category includes a complete selection of braking components for the Honda Civic VII – from genuine Honda OEM parts to high-quality replacements from trusted manufacturers such as ATE, Brembo, Ferodo, EBC Brakes, Autofren Seinsa and LPR. You’ll also find premium brake fluids by ATE, Motul and Honda OEM. All components are carefully selected for perfect fit, high performance, and long service life.

Brake components for Honda Civic 7th Generation

• Brake discs – precision cast from high-grade iron or steel alloys with enhanced heat resistance. Available standard and ventilated discs from ATE and Brembo, as well as sport-oriented EBC Brakes discs from the Ultimax and BSD series for improved cooling and reduced stopping distance.
• Brake pads – provide optimal friction and braking response. Choose Ferodo Premier pads for everyday comfort and reliability, or upgrade to EBC Greenstuff or Yellowstuff for increased heat resistance and enhanced bite in performance applications.
• Brake hoses – available as steel-braided or flexible OEM-style hoses, resistant to pressure, temperature and wear. Replacing brake hoses every few years prevents loss of braking efficiency and fluid leaks.
• Caliper repair kits – include pistons, seals, dust boots and guide pins. Autofren Seinsa kits allow for easy restoration of worn calipers, extending their service life without the need for replacement.
• Brake master cylinders – available from LPR and Honda OEM. They ensure proper hydraulic pressure distribution and consistent brake pedal feel. Recommended replacement when experiencing pedal sinking or uneven braking pressure.
• Brake fluids – maintain optimal hydraulic pressure and temperature stability. Choose from ATE DOT4, Motul RBF600 / RBF700 or Honda OEM Brake Fluid for reliable braking under demanding conditions. Fluid replacement every 2 years prevents corrosion and air buildup in the system.

Why maintaining your Honda Civic 7 brake system matters

• Ensures safe and consistent braking in all driving conditions.
• Prevents disc overheating and brake fade during prolonged braking.
• Proper combination of pads, discs and fluid can shorten stopping distance by up to 15%.
• Regular brake fluid replacement protects hoses and calipers from internal corrosion.
• Maintaining clean, lubricated caliper guide pins ensures even pad wear and quiet operation.
