Can anyone confirm which rear brake pads fit the base overseas models?
Can anyone confirm what rear brake pads fit the lower/base models we get around the world? I know that you guys don't get this base model in the US. But a lot of people (including me) bought the base model, that comes with slightly smaller rear brakes and solid discs.
I have started tracking my car a lot, and possible going with a turbo set up soon, so ill need more breaking power. Right now i use Ferodo DS2500 front/OEM rear. It works well, but i know its not optimal. Searching for a BBK, but i really need to know what pads i can use, that are available for the smaller rear brakes... Ill appreciate any help!! ive searched a lot, but cant get confirmation anywhere, just guesses... Noob question, but would the USDM spec rear pads work on my car? |

I can't find a manufacturer that doesn't list different part numbers for RC/GT and BRZ/GTS/FRS. Having said that I just bought GTS pads and they sent me GT :sigh:

yeah i got project mu pads wit part numbers specific to the non vented rear roter set up. toyota lists different part numbers the pads on the base model in the rear as well. but the part number for gc8 front rotor is differnt but it will fit just fine as well. the only difference in the vent design in the rotor. i guess its time for someone to do an experiment, lol.

I rang QFM and the rear pads are definitely different. I'm getting the correct pads sent and I'll take a photo side by side.

Subaru Outback 2003 rear pads fit the based model. The rears are smaller, fronts are the same.

I have no problem getting after-market pads for my std spec car here in South Africa.
I'm currently running Endless in front and Bendix on the rear. Let me know if you'd like part numbers - I should still have the boxes somewhere. |
mmmm well, im having a hard time find Ferodo DS2500 for the rear of this car... Thats the pad im running front, and will still run the same pad once i get BBK (i like them!). But cant find the DS2500 for the rear...
I found some pads... but not many. Any Australian/Japanese/South African website that you guys recommend for buying the pads, thats willing to ship to Brazil? @Wayno keep me posted on your case!! thanks! |
anything in particular that binds you to ferodo?
|
not really... i live in a hot climate, so they work pretty well even when cold. At the track, with some abuse, they held up fine at 10-15mins sessions. I know they are a "hybrid", but they work far better than stock.
I heard good things about projecto Mu too... might consider those as a track only pad... |
Yeah id just get whats available and has a good reputation. Seems to be alot of capable pads out there.
