Are they standard pads? I've got 8 pots and I'm more than happy paying 130 delivered for a set of performance friction ones.

I wouldn't worry tbh. Iirc the Godspeed pads are designed to make use of the added surface area of the bigger discs, I'd have thought you should be able to use oe pads (seeing your using the standard calipres).

That being said how ever, check it with Godspeed. I could be wrong.

Many big brake kits use modified pads. The poweratation porsche kit for instance uses modified pads.
Im sure if you purchased a set of normal pads you could use your old ones as a template and modify them yourself.
