Brake pads

Post by Dave_ZXR »

are these the wrong pads for a L model?

they dont seem to slide right down the pin to the pistons as the current ones do (seem too wide).

Dave, do you still need a set of L model pads?

I've got a pair of sets of organic EBC FA180s sitting here pretty much unneeded for a few months, give me a shout if you want them.
