Description
Front and rear brake pads and rotors kit for the Acura CSX 2006-2011. Type 07 HydroAdaptive+ ceramic pads paired with SC rotors with a coated hub and edges: four rotors and both pad sets, covering all four wheels.
Made for rain, cold, snow and salted roads. The pads and rotors are matched to work as one braking system: the pads move water away from the braking surface and keep their bite on cold mornings, and the rotor surface is prepared for them, so braking stays consistent. The coated hub and edges resist rust on the parts of the rotor the pads don’t touch.
Fits Acura CSX models from 2006 to 2011. Use Verify Fitment above to confirm your exact trim. Free shipping to all 10 provinces.

Frequently asked questions
Will this kit fit my car?
The Additional information tab lists the make, model and years this kit fits. To check your exact vehicle, use Verify Fitment under the product title. If a part bought with verified fitment doesn't fit, we send a free return label and a full refund.
What's in this kit?
A set of AAA Frictions ceramic brake pads and matching rotors for the axle in the title: front, rear or front and rear. The Additional information tab shows the pad type and the rotor coating.
How does this kit perform in rain, snow and salt?
The pads move water away from the braking surface to keep their bite in rain and slush, and the rotor surface is prepared for them, so braking stays consistent. GEOMET-coated GC rotors also resist the salt rust that causes uneven braking. This kit's pad type and rotor coating are in the Additional information tab.
Should I choose Type 03 or Type 07?
Type 03 HydroAdaptive pads suit everyday driving in rain and humidity. Type 07 HydroAdaptive+ pads add better performance on cold starts and in snow and slush. If you face long, salty winters, choose a Type 07 kit, ideally with fully GEOMET-coated GC rotors.
Does this kit cover both wheels?
Yes. A front or rear kit covers both wheels on that axle: two rotors and a set of pads. A front-and-rear kit covers all four wheels.
Do new pads and rotors need a break-in?
Yes, a normal bed-in: a series of moderate stops so the pads lay an even layer on the new rotors. Avoid hard stops for the first few hundred kilometres. Our coated rotor break-in guide has the steps.
How long does shipping take?
Shipping is free to all 10 provinces. Orders usually ship within a day and arrive 1 to 5 days later.
What is your return policy?
You have 30 days to return parts that are unused and in their original packaging. If a part bought with verified fitment doesn't fit, we send a free return label and a full refund. Read the full refund and returns policy.
Rain Is Only Half the Story
Wet roads reduce friction.
Cold temperatures reduce it even further.
In freezing conditions, conventional ceramic pads stiffen. Friction output drops until heat builds. The first stop of the morning often feels weaker than expected.
Add snow, slush, or micro moisture between pad and rotor, and braking consistency becomes even more unstable.
Drivers experience:
- Reduced initial bite in cold temperatures
- Delayed response on freezing mornings
- Variable torque when transitioning between dry pavement and snow
- Inconsistent pedal feel across seasonal changes
Traditional pads were never engineered to remain responsive in low temperature environments
HydroAdaptive+™ with Enhanced Scorching
Type 07 Brake Pads are built around HydroAdaptive+™— our evolved climate-focused formulation designed for snow climates and four-season driving.
HydroAdaptive+™ builds on the moisture management foundation of HydroAdaptive™, while adding a specialized scorching and processing sequence that stabilizes pad behavior before installation.
What the Enhanced Scorching Process Delivers
Immediate cold temperature responsiveness
Reduced first-stop fade in freezing conditions
Improved friction stability without heat activation
Faster clearing of micro moisture, frost, and slush
This allows the pad to remain active and predictable even when temperatures fall below typical operating levels.
Type 07 is engineered for snow climates and regions with harsh winters.
A Matched System for Environmental Control
The SC Rotors in this kit are engineered to support HydroAdaptive+™ behavior at the system level
Supporting Cold and Wet Stability
- Semi-coated for corrosion resistance
- Surface tuned to complement HydroAdaptive+ torque characteristics
- Promotes faster transfer layer stabilization
- Shortens break-in time
By pairing rotor metallurgy and surface preparation with pad formulation, the system achieves more predictable friction behavior across seasons.
This is not a collection of parts.
It is a climate-matched braking system.
What’s Included in This Kit
This complete braking system includes:
Type 07 HydroAdaptive+™ Brake Pads
SC Semi-Coated Rotors
Vehicle-specific hardware kits where applicable
HydroAdaptive Reserved Brake Grease
HydroAdaptive Reserved Brake Grease
Formulated specifically for HydroAdaptive systems, this grease is engineered to:
- Remain stable across wide temperature swings
- Resist washout in rain and slush
- Maintain lubrication integrity in cold climate
Every component is selected to support environmental reliability.
Ideal For
Type 07 + SC Kit is ideal for:
Snow climates
Freezing winters
Four-season regions with temperature swings
Drivers demanding stable cold-start performance
If your environment includes snow, ice, or extended cold temperatures, Type 07 is the correct system.
Built for Seasonal Transitions
Most brake systems perform well only within narrow operating windows.
HydroAdaptive+™ expands that window — from heavy rain to snow-covered roads — while maintaining predictable pedal feel.
AAA Frictions prioritizes environmental adaptability over extreme marketing metrics
Consistency is safety.
AAA Frictions
Engineered for real-world climates.
Built for drivers who expect braking stability across every season.
Anytime. Any Weather. Anywhere.
