i'm looking to buy but when I went to the site I remembered someone saying that pads where wrong number

Hi Lou!

DB1176 front, DB1285 rear.
DO NOT use the DB 843 rear as these will not sit in the caliper correctly. They are to suit early RRC ONLY.

Because I have a nasty feeling I have been running the wrong pads on the front for a long time which I don't whether or not it might explain my crappy brakes and sometimes the over sensitivity of the ABS...perhaps not I don't know

the disco is a 96my

Hi DB,

Just answered this in your other post in the ying/ yang thread.

DB1176 front, and DB1285 rear. There is NO way you can fit incorrect shape pads to the front, but you CAN fit DB843 to the rear, which are most definately NOT to be used as they CAN fall on an angle in the caliper. They are for early RRC ONLY. They look similar but are NOT correct.

Just out of interest, the DB1176 also fit vented front rotor models except Defender which are a larger pad, DB1305.

Justin thanks for your help and i'm not arguing that you can fit different pads But I would like pictures
