is there any difference between early ph1 16v rear calipers/pads (90 - 92) and later models (92-96) 16v?

EBC list pads for 90 - 92 as 106mm x 56mm x 11mm but also list pads for 92- 96 and williams and 172/182 as 105mm x 55mm x 11mm.

im not sure if there is any real difference, and short of taking out my rear pads im not sure how to tell. mine is an early 1992 on a J plate.

its wierd coz i thought the calipers were the same on all 16v's.

Will the 1mm difference in length/height make much of a difference, if any?

They're the same depth so should be fine that way.

I'd be tempted to get the slightly smaller ones as I can't see it making a difference, and if it does then at least if they're a bit smaller they'll be guaranteed to fit!

or if you get the lsrger ones filing off 1mm isn't really a hassle. if thye are too small they may fall out :wink:

right, in the end the mintex pads i bought were wrong, they fitted but didint have the 2 locating screw holes in the outer pads. i then bought some lucas pads and these were the same. in the end i went for delphi pads.

i have found the correct number for the lucas pads - gdb 905. std renault replacement item. hope this helps!

Lots of them don't seem to have the holes for the screws - I just binned them and the pads seem to be fine without :D

I thought the same the other day until I realised I had stupidly put the ones with the holes on the inner side and the ones with the locating lug on the outside...soon sorted that lol!

So what pads are what I need then??

And do they need locating screw holes in the outer pads and a locating lug on the inner pads??

You three all seem to be saying different things LOL :lol:

I think there is a difference between what is ideal/OE and what you really need :lol: All the pads I have seen have the lugs, so I'd say you need them. The last few pads I have had don't have anywhere for the screws to go into, so whilst I guess they might be ideal to have (are they for anti-squeal?) I don't think they are crucial. If you wanted Mintex 1144s I still have the box somewhere so could find out the exact part number if you need it - they have lugs but no screw holes.

this is very interesting thread. to be honest its a stupid design the rear caliper setup, i hate the anti rattle springs and pad retaining plate, seems so stupid, and dosent seem to ever hold the pads in the best way possible.

would be interesting to see what pads the clio mk1 race cars ran. anyone with any information?
