EBC Greenstuff pads - which for the V6?

[Johnny_Cashed]

I want to change the front pads on my galant at the same time as the rears (which currently sound like someone's sharpening knives). The attached picture is from the EBC catalogue - I can't figure out which code I need for the fronts. I want to get this done next weekend without faffing about taking an old pad to a motorfactors so I was wondering if anyone knew which pad I should go for?

Searching brings up threads saying the V6 at the facelift switched to twin pot calipers with the 275mm disc, and that the 2.0 and 2.4 GDI subsequently changed also. But looking at the EBC catalogue it only lists one size for the GDI.

Isaac suggests the DP2954 here. Anyone know for sure?

I'm not sure there is a way to find out for sure without a chassis number check on your car, or taking a wheel off and checking the size of the new pad against the old.

I would say you guess is the best one, but I wouldn't guarantee it.

seems like you got the same car as me mate, you need the DP21614 forsure. I changed my ones to greenstuff about a year ago and purchased the wrong set (DP2954) first, which i got for sale if anyone interested.

Thanks, I'll go for the DP21614, there's still some meat left on the front pads (they're just crap) so if it's the wrong size I'll wait till the next weekend. Thanks guys.

No probs.

If your in doubt you can check the shape of the pads you have by just looking at the pads whiles they are still on the car, the two different part numbers are for two completely different shape pads. Have a look on here to match the shape of pads up.

Mechanical facelift (incl. breaks) was done in 1999 in all models, i.e. 2-pots calipers, bigger discs. Visual FL was done in V6 following year - 2000.
