Hey Barry educate me.How can you tell it's for the rear ? I didn't even realize the rears had the raised ridge on the pistons...time to crawl under the car :evil:

Barry Henning, you are staying after class and you will write on the board 100 times: I will not lie to my classmates :oops: ! The rear pistons don't have cutouts, the pads are specially shaped to cater for pressure distribution. I am really disappointed...our star student...see where smoking in the toilets got you? :roll:

JK

Cause we run our cars upside down and back-to-front, we actually have the pistons pointed the opposite way..
