The top pads are for the earlier cars (mainly UK's and WRX's)

The small pads are used by the 2 pot rear calipers fitted to STI's and the later UK cars (all cars since 2000 had these calipers on the rear)
So no your cars not an import!

Hi,

You should not be fitting green stuff. You need REDS if you are fitting EBC.

Cheers Red.

Hi,

Give Andrew Bartosiak a ring at EBC. He will sort you out.
