Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Could use some help, trying to find the right brake pad part numbers and getting very confused! 981 GT4 with PCCB, just purchased the Girodisc Iron discs that are designed to fit directly to the car and work with the existing PCCB callipers Need to buy some pads but getting confused on the right part numbers - looking at Pagid RSL29 or EBC RP-X Does anyone have the right part numbers for these pads to fit the GT4 Girodisc PCCB to Iron disc conversion?

POST 2Original post

If you look at the Pagid website I believe that they show the size of the pad for the caliper and all the pad material options in that size ?? Search by car ... yours would be 981 PCCB though I believe that the calibers are the same for steel ... again easily checked ...

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

You’re right, the Pagid website is good for part numbers. What I’m not sure about is whether I need the pads that fit PCCB or the pads that fit iron discs - the swept area of the Girodisc conversion is different to the original ceramic disc

POST 4Original post

So you can stay with standard GT4 pads shape as that is the same as the cars mentioned when they are specced with Iron rotors.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, so just ignore all the fitments for PCCB and just get standard iron fitment pads

POST 6Original post

Yes. This also allows you to try other brands/compounds.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Perfect thanks, was going around in circles for a while there!
