hey guys,
i did a search but it didnt really clear much up, i went to autobarn to get some new brake pads for the front of my car (bendix or ferodo), as well as some slotted DBA rotors, but they couldnt find the part number for my car (em1) for either of the parts, so im asking, does anyone know the part number for front brake pads for an em1 (ferodo or bendix), as there were 2 shapes of pad and the guy didnt know what one to choose and he sais ill have to take my pads off to get the correct style, but i dont really want to have to do that yet, and also, what are the dimensions of the front disc of an em1 (diameter, thickness ect), as he rang DBA, but as there were no disc that were specifically for an em1, the DBA person couldnt help??? sorry for the long post guys and any help will be much appreciated =]
thanks,
stephen
