Product Details

The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pads line focuses on practical braking performance and value without forcing you to guess at friction material choice. For Honda Civic, Honda Insight, and Acura EL front brake service, this pad set uses a hybrid compound to support stable brake response and predictable pedal feel in normal street driving. The 4000-1578-00 brake pad set is also sized for vehicles that use a mechanical wear sensor setup, with the pads prepared for sensor use.

Part number 4000-1578-00 is a direct fit for select front applications, including 1996-2015 Honda Civic front, 2010-2014 Honda Insight front, and 1997-2005 Acura EL front. It also fits 1998-2002 Honda Accord rear disc applications as listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues Addressed

• Squealing or noisy front brake pads
• Excess brake dust on wheels
• Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel

Installation Notes

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or replace hardware as needed based on the vehicle’s brake service requirements. Confirm whether your vehicle uses a mechanical wear sensor and inspect the sensor circuit during brake service. For Honda Civic, Honda Insight, and Acura EL front brake jobs, compare the old pads to the new set before final assembly.
