   Just wandering if anyone can identify what type of pads i need for my big brakes?... i don't have a clue because someone dident send my pads when i bought the brakes. Not that im trying to slag anyone off here....
   
   
   
   The discs are 283 but i dont think that will help..
   
   Bit of a long shot but anyone got any ideas?

   They were 'sent' with the breaks.. stock says they were 'sent'. Ain't going to chase them.. just wont get my custom anymore. I told him a good 3 - 4 times i havent got them, sent numerous emails.. everytime i ring i get no answer. Going to try once more tommorow.. but i need the pads a.s.a.p so if i cant get them sent by tommorow im going to have to look elsewhere.

   think about it.. if the pads are designed to stop a volvo at speed i think a sub tonne saxo they should deal fine with.
   
   the caliper will give lots of pressure to cause good braking, so a softer pad is better as it will work well from cold.
