Need 1996 Honda Civic brake pads, rotors, or hardware? 1996 is a 6th-gen Civic (1996–2000). This page is only that Civic. It is not Civic del Sol, not an Accord, and it is not a CR-V.
DX/EX/HX/Si trims and ABS packages change pad and rotor numbers on this generation. A growl or pedal pulsation is usually a rotor. A squeal on the first stop is often glazed pads or missing hardware clips.

6th-gen Civic (1996–2000) brake shop notes — 1996
These are brake shop notes for the 6th-gen Civic (1996–2000) that includes 1996. Si, Hybrid, and GX packages can change pad and rotor numbers — stay on this page’s list. They are not for Civic del Sol, Accord, or CR-V.
What usually brings people here
- Pedal pulsation or a growl that rises with road speed → rotor (BD125006E / BD61982E). Confirm stud count and diameter against the Front/Rear lists before ordering.
- Squeal on the first stop or after a short drive → glazed pads (QC465A / ZD465A) or missing hardware clips. Replace clips when they are bent, missing, or corroded solid.
- Soft or sinking pedal after a visual leak check → inspect the flexible hoses on this page (e.g. BH140038) for cracks, bulges, or wet fittings, then bleed with the correct fluid. This page does not list master cylinders or ABS modulators — stay with the SKUs shown.
ThermoQuiet vs QuickStop
Front pads on this page: ThermoQuiet QC465A vs QuickStop ZD465A. ThermoQuiet is the quieter ceramic / OE-style path (often with hardware in the box); QuickStop is the value ceramic alternative — same application, different line. Rear pads: ThermoQuiet QC2733 vs QuickStop ZD2733.

While you’re in there
While the calipers are off, inspect hose fittings for wetness and make sure the guide pins slide freely. Fresh abutment clips (H17206) are cheap insurance when the old ones are rusty or missing. If the truck also clunks or wanders, see 1996 Honda Civic suspension parts for ball-joint / tie-rod notes before you button the knuckle back up.
Shop notes only — not a service manual. Use the factory procedure or a Haynes/Chilton manual for wrench work, torque, and safety steps. Leave a comment with 4×2 vs 4×4, coil vs air (if equipped), and the symptom if you want a part-number check.

Fitment notes
These Wagner numbers come from the WC900 1995–2019 catalog (Federal-Mogul 2019), Honda Civic (6th gen) rows whose year range covers 96 (1996). Confirm trim (Si/Hybrid/GX) and body style before ordering. Superscript footnotes on the pad/rotor columns (1 hardware in the box, 2 OE semi-metallic, 4 optional ceramic, 8 E-coat, 9 OE abutment clips, 11 wear sensor) are not part of the SKU.
Do not use Civic del Sol, Accord, or CR-V pad/rotor numbers on this Civic page without confirming the application.
