Post brake pad question...
Are front and rear brake pads the same on an 86 951? The old pads on my car are shaped a little differently on the front, the new metal masters are the same. ????

How are they shaped differently? Are they missing the insert hole for the pad warning or......

The fronts just had a little more of an extension of the metal on the bottom - maybe they were a different brand? I don't know what was on there before.

Do they fit snugly and the same way as the ones you pulled off? Does the "extension" rub the disc when you turn it?
