It seems that the "extra" spring that was on the Nissin caliper(see pic above) has worn down over the years, letting the pad rub off the edge of the rotor. It may have been possible to just bend the spring out so it pushed down more on the pad, but I decided to go with akebono, only way you can mess that up is cross-threading the bolts.
i had this prob before but was the pads that the part store gave me i said nissin they fit tight thought maybe manufacturer so went to crappy tire and bought some monroes and voila prob solved and i dont know how cb's work in the states but here in canada i have owned 3 seprate cb7's completly stock and they all had nissin i have a coupe also will chek soon wich calaipers it has.

Nissin should be nissin pads and akebono to akebono pads.

I accidently bought Nissin pads for my Akebono calipers, i was used to my sedan which had the Nissins on them, so I put them on with the Powerslot plus kit, now the pads have the wear issue noted in this thread, but goddam my coupe stops so much better the sedan with Nissins its not even funny which is hilarious, so next step: get Akebono pads... lol yeah

I do believe I have akibono for my ex, will this brake pad work for it because it only says that it is applicable to dx and lx models:

On my 92 ex there is nissin in the front. as for me i think im going to kee them. BUT I do believe for the akibono you can buy durlast c-max old pads witch are like 60 bucks and for the nissin you can not buy these pads yet only the gold or normal pads. the c-max gold are the ceramic.www.myspace.com/spayellowaccord This is mine!
