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?

Maybe they're just weared out?

No brake pads are ok, I think problem is when I use brake, after that brake pads dont return to there previous position.

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

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...

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

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.

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.

so maybe same problem with me? Any pics?
