Rear brake pad size

[ben7]

Hi,

 

Looking to get some mintex pads for the rear of my 05 academy car. Mintex have asked me to check whether they are the small pads with a spring at the top. Any ideas or even better part number????

 

Thanks,

 

Ben

Ben: Part number for Mintex rear pads is MDB1287M1144. The M1144 defines the friction compound. Depending on what front pads you have the rears may be overbraked with 1144 compound.

HTH,

...and they do have a spring at the top.

 

As Mark says, what are you running on the front?

OK, might be fine with bigger front calipers.
