EG5

EK4 and EG6 front and rear pads/caliper / disc size are all the same
EG5 runs different front caliper / pads / disc size compared to EK4/EG6 , EG5 rear caliper / disc / pads is the same with EK4/EG6

one way i was told was to take out the pad, an draw the outline an they can match it, but id rather just go by part number an get %100 fitment

hi mate, thats a million dollar question, as in aus they came out with both, i had the same problem, best way to do it is take the pad out and check it against both DB1286 and DB1262. i ended up having the DB1286. Otherwise if you really dont want to take it out, if you have a small ruler you can meaurse up certain aspects of the pad while its still in and compare it with the print out.

yeah, if you cant see a brand on the caliper itself, youre best off matching it up with the picture.
