I got a set of brake pads from the dealer (way too expensive but hey, I don't have any performance parts on my ride & was told to use only Honda pads due to soft Honda rotors) for my Accord. I took off the calipers and my old springs don't look anything like the new ones. The restraints (springs) that came with the dealer's set just do NOT fit the caliper contours. I checked your online Shop Manual & the picture of the springs is very close with those long arms on the springs but the picture of the caliper is not like I got on my vehicle. Mine says "Nissin" and since the new springs did not fit, I called the parts person at Honda again & they swear the springs are correct for my 89 LX-i. I tried putting the new springs in but the indentations don't match the bends and turns of my calipers like they are supposed to? Honda part #45022-SE0-505...I'll try calling Honda again but if you guys know of why this is not working, please let me know. Even the pads stick out from the rotors about 1/4" out and if I push the pads inward, it'll hit the axle. Thanks.
