sounds more like a Godspeed kit, Ian posts on here..........

uses an old Jag/Aston pad shape or you can fit the original pads back in, just don't get the full depth of the disc

Yes One of my 335mm kits , we use a wider pad than standard , as the discs also have a wider pad contact area than the standard discs.

I can supply you our kevlar pads for £75 a set , Mintex M1144/1155 for £120 a set , or Ferodo DS2500 pads for £125 a set , they all come with new pins to hold the pads in the calipers
P&P is £10

I have them all in stock for next day delivery

Just to add , if they are rattly , it sounds as though you dont have the anti rattle spring clips fitted , fit these and they will be quiet
