Hi all

I have purchased new 312mm Carriers and calipers for my A4 s-line but am at a loss as to what pads i need to use. I tried using my original calipers but the clashed with the 312mm discs. Now dont know what pads to use.

I have stripped the brakes down 3 times now :aargh4: to come up against an issue and had to revert to old set up. So i dont want to strip it down again and find pads dont fit.

This is what i have ended up buying

Any help appreciated.

mk5 golf GTI pads, i fitted 312mm to mine and they came off a GTI, just looked in my pad book and all 312 mm discs take the same pad number (TRW number)
