I'm about to order some pads and the description says that they are for an 02-03 civic si. I have an 05 and I'm assuming that they would fit the same, right?

No, they are not the same.
Honda OEM part numbers:
02-03 45022-S5D-A00
04-05 45022-S7A-000
Would the 02-03 work on the 04-05? Possibly. But the calipers are different also, so it may be a size thing......(I know, I know - That's what she said....:mconfused:)

I didn't know the calipers were different. Maybe I should just make sure that the description says 04-05 then, to avoid risking anything.

That would probably be best....

I'm just curious if anyone had tried this though, just to have peace of mind, because the deal that I can get on these pads is unbelievable.

I don't really know what the difference is, but the pads from the 04-05 fits directly into the 02-03 and vice versa. I found this out 2 years ago when I went to Honda and requested some 02-03 brake pads, but they were out of stock? I asked for 04-05 pads instead, which they had in stock. The parts guy told me they are not going to work, but I told him I'll try it out anyways.

So it did fit? No problems then? Maybe I'll just go for it.

0203 pads will NOT NOT NOT fit 0405 calipers.
If you own an 0405, just make sure to get brake pads for a base rsx.

I just checked here and it looks like they're all the same. Unless they're unaware of the fact. I don't know.
