Hello Everyone,

I have a bit of an issue that maybe someone could help me with. It's time to change my front pads for the first time and I don't know which pads to get because I have solid discs instead of vented like all 96 ESs are supposed to.

I'm guessing (because I have very little history on the car) that someone has changed the discs in the past for solid ones because they are a few quid cheaper.

That leaves me with the question-which pads?

pads are the same ,locating pins are different but vented pins will fit solid disc caliper just a bit long

Stupid question time. Do the pins come with the pads or do I need to get one of the retaining kits?

Can't wait for a delivery, I literally have to do it tomorrow before I roll it in for MOT.

Mine came without. Can you not just reuse the ones you take out?

Solid discs are standard on your model of disco.
