Frequently Asked Questions

P28048N fits 1994-2001 Acura Integra in GS-R, LS, RS, GS, Special Edition, and Type R trim levels, as well as 1994-1995 Honda Civic EX, LX, and Si. Always confirm your brake caliper brand (Akebono) before ordering.

P28048N uses Brembo's NAO Ceramic compound, branded as Prime Ceramic. It is a non-asbestos organic ceramic formulation designed for low noise, low dust, and smooth everyday stopping.

Yes. P28048N is confirmed to fit the 1994-2001 Acura Integra Type R (DC2) alongside the GS-R, LS, RS, GS, and Special Edition variants.

The suffix N denotes the NAO Ceramic formulation. The standard P28048 uses Brembo's Prime Low-Metallic compound, which offers slightly more aggressive bite. P28048N ceramic pads trade a small amount of cold-bite for noticeably less brake dust, less rotor wear, and quieter operation.

Yes. A proper break-in procedure is recommended. Perform 6 to 10 moderate stops from 30 mph to 10 mph without coming to a full stop, allowing the pads to cool between each stop. This transfers an even layer of pad material onto the rotor surface for optimal performance and longevity.

Brembo P28048N pads are designed to work with standard smooth-face rotors. They are compatible with cross-drilled and slotted rotors as well, though ceramic compound pads generally pair best with plain or UV-coated rotors for daily driving use.

The FMSI number for Brembo P28048N is D617 7493. This cross-reference number can be used to verify pad compatibility across aftermarket brake manufacturers and catalogs.

Pad life depends heavily on driving style and conditions. Under typical street driving conditions, ceramic brake pads on a lightweight Integra or Civic can last 40,000 to 60,000 miles. Aggressive driving or mountainous terrain will reduce pad life significantly.

Yes. Anti-squeal shims are included with P28048N to help dampen vibration and prevent brake squeal. Install the shims between the pad backing plate and caliper piston during installation.

Installation Instructions

1. Safely raise the vehicle and support it on jack stands. Remove the front wheels.
2. Remove the brake caliper mounting bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor. Support the caliper with a wire hook to avoid stressing the brake hose.
3. Remove the old brake pads and retaining clips from the caliper bracket.
4. Clean the caliper bracket contact surfaces with a wire brush and apply brake caliper lubricant to the slide pins and pad contact areas only.
5. Use a brake piston tool or C-clamp to compress the caliper piston fully back into the bore to make room for the new thicker pads.
6. Install the new P28048N pads into the caliper bracket. Attach the included anti-squeal shims to the backing plate of each pad.
7. Reinstall the caliper over the pads and torque the caliper mounting bolts to factory specification (typically 28 ft-lbs for Integra/Civic).
8. Reinstall the wheels and torque the lug nuts to spec.
9. Pump the brake pedal repeatedly until firm pedal feel is restored before moving the vehicle.
10. Check brake fluid level and top off if necessary. Perform a proper bed-in procedure before aggressive braking.
