Honda's Two Brake Systems

Honda vehicles come with either drum brakes or disc brakes, if not both. Each uses master brake cylinders, brake pistons, brake hoses, and brake lines. You press your foot against the brake pedal, causing the master brake cylinder to send brake fluid through the lines and hoses. The difference between the two systems lies in the parts involved in what happens at the end.

1. Honda Drum Brake System

With a drum brake system, the pressure of the fluid causes a brake shoe to fasten to a brake drum to produce friction that slows the rotation of your wheels.

2. Honda Disc Brake System

In a disc brake system, the fluid causes brake calipers to clamp brake pads onto the brake rotors to generate that same resistance.

If you need to replace a failing brake part, choose one that Honda made specifically for your model. That provides the guaranteed compatibility you can trust. Find everything you need for your project right here in our online Honda parts catalog, and priced well below the MSRP.
