[Mk2] [Turbo] Rev3 - Are all rear brake pads the same size on mk2?

[Rikki]

Just wondering if the rev3 has the same brake pads on the rear as the intial Mk2 from 1989 onwards.

Just got a set delivered here, Mintex MDB 1325 and wanted to make sure before I get the rear brakes all stripped off that they are the right ones.

Thanks folks and merry chrimbo

IIRC the rev1/2 only had different sized front pads.
(the rears were the same size as rev3+ even though the rear caliper & disc is different - I think).

*edit, should have read...

i thought rev 2 on were all the same ... time for peter gidden or rogue to step up with a definitive answer !

ALL mr2's,thats marque 1,2 or 3 all share the same rear pads.

Sorry, yes, rev2+ all the same.

[PW@Woodsport]

Sorry are we talking front or rear pads here? the OP asks about rears?

[JohnnyC]

Sorry, my 2nd post was agreeing with splashnatz that the 'brakes' in general were the same rev2+

As I stated in my 1st post, rear pads are the same regardless of revision as you confirmed Paul

If the pads are the same does it then follow that the rev 1 rear caliphers can be used for the larger rev2 rev3 discs

Rev1 rear calipers have 16V stamped on them, rev2+ has 22V.
AFAIK this number is to do with the thickness of the disc that should be used with the caliper - so no, rev1 rear calipers can't be used with rev2+ discs.
