Which rear pads do I need?

[martym00se72]

Hi Folks,
So I need new pads for the rear and am looking to keep things the same front and back so will be changing the front pads too. I currently have some generic 'meh pads in which work OK but nothing special. I have done some research on various opinions etc and will be giving Ferodo DS2500 pads a go – seems like they have a fair reputation for an acceptable price.

I have a quote from a supplier and he has given me a couple of options. The fronts are easy – just the one pad FCP116H. The rears are a little more complicated as there are 2 pads of the same shape and dimensions, but one has a cut out in the back to allow it to fit in the caliper. FCP3H or FCP93H. The supplier believes that I may require FCP93 in the back. He has provided pad drawings to help select the correct one; the dotted line on the right hand side (as you look at the drawing) of the FCP93 pad delineates the cut out.

Which rear pads do I need? How do I tell looking at my brakes?

I was considering getting a local specialist to supply and install but I then considered that one of the reasons I got the car in the first place is to get a bit hands on with stuff. A bit of research here has helped confirm my thinking that I should be able to sort this out by myself. However, my Cardisk manuals seem to be missing workshop pages 22-4 through to 22-13 – right where it covers the rear brakes... Can anyone shoot me a copy of those pages please??

Hey Marty,

Your supplier seems to have the fronts right; not sure what the rear with the cutout is for as I don't recall ever seeing any like that.

I can't help with the car disk, but I do have a spare Haines Alfetta workshop manual you can borrow if you like. The rears are all the same as far as I know.

Actually, while I think of it, have you got a price from the guys at The Spare Place?

They are usually pretty competitive on that sort of stuff if they have it. 8212 3505.

No affiliation, just a happy customer.

I have used EBC a long time, they work and reasonable priced.
In EBC P/N
Fronts DP3197 (red) or 4197 (yellow), same shape as yours

Rears DP3105 (red) or 4105 (yellow), same shape as yours

Ferodo 2500 is what everyone uses as well.
