Honda Civic Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Honda Civic seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Civic keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Honda Civic is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Honda Civic together.

What Is Included in the Honda Civic Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Honda Civic includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Civic, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Honda Civic piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Civic caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Honda Civic, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Civic, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Honda Civic application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Honda Civic

A caliper kit is the right call for the Honda Civic in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Civic are already compromised. During a high-mileage Civic overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Honda Civic are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Civic brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Honda Civic.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Honda Civic

New OEM-specification calipers for the Honda Civic are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Civic vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Honda Civic housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Civic replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Honda Civic Is Due

• Honda Civic pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Civic worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Honda Civic with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Civic brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Honda Civic caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Civic corner not explained by worn pads

Why GeoBrakes for the Honda Civic Caliper Kit

Calipers for the Honda Civic are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Civic are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Honda Civic exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions - Honda Civic Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Honda Civic at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Honda Civic has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Civic. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Civic caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Honda Civic after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Honda Civic to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Civic must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Honda Civic.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Honda Civic kit?

A new caliper for the Honda Civic has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Civic housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Honda Civic applications.
