guys,
i'm looking at changing the pad on my verada (98 KF 3.5) and when i went to buy the pad he asked me if is one or two pistons.

Any ideas what i'm looking, i assume 2 but if anyone can also shine some light on this - it would be good.

On another note, what is a decent pad for this car - don't need racing pads ;) just something decent. Thinking bendix or Frodos ( i think thats how you spell it), anything else out there worth trying?

Has 1 if it's standard.

Bendix have never done me any wrong.

The Ralliart and AWD models were the only 3rd gens with twin piston brakes. All the rest are single piston.

I have a set of Bendix General CTs at the moment and they're great for regular driving - very quiet and no dust. Not the best for spirited driving though as they do tend to fade when pushed.

I was always under the impression that Frodos were more performance-orientated. Not necessarily a bad thing, but performance-orientated pads (such as Bendix Ultimates) tend to squeal more, and produce a lot of brake dust.

The reSon is that the parts place is looking at a parts book

Front 1203 and rear 1204. In qfm are 75 per end. Some rda and bendix will be got from various places for mid 50's
