I think only the ralliarts and AWD's had twin pot calipers so pretty sure yours would be single..

Thats funny, my 2nd gen has twin pots, and as far as I understand, may be wrong, but all ABS equipped Magna's have aswell, although buying some pads for my car today it doesnt seem to change a thing.

i think some of the 2nd gens had twin pot calipers. all third gens excluding the AWD and Ralliart have single pot calipers, the AWD and Ralliart both have twin pot front calipers.

Yeah, think it was the 2nd gen verada's that had twins? I dunno
Either way, was refering to 3rd gens in my first post, probably should have said so lol woopppps

Oh really, fair enough then. When buying pads today it seemed like all magnas and veradas took the same pads from what I saw in the book, is this right?

not sure about that one, i think there were a few different pad sizes (check out the bendix website). i'm sure someone will be able to shed more light on this though.

The front pads on both 2nd and 3rd gen twin pot front calipers are the same pad despite using different rotors and the calipers being different. The matching rear calipers are different and take different pads.

Second gen with V6 and ABS has twin pot front calipers and 15" wheels as standard. 2.6 without ABS has single pot with 14" wheels. I got one of each. Wagon TS V6 rear pads are different to the sedan.
