Pad sizes with standard 4-pots
 
Just fitted some new disc's and on the old ones the pads covered the whole contact area.As you can see from the picture

The standard pad is to short and does not cover the whole contact area of the new disc:cuckoo:My question is can you get a longer pad.All i can find is a longer pad for 335 disc's with standard calipers.
Thanks in advance.

Were the old pads std?

The Godspeed 335 kit uses Jag pads that "hang" out the inside of the caliper :)

Yep standard pads do you have a part number for the Jag ones had a hunt around but it seams they do not like giving it out.

Speak to Alyn at AS performance :)
They are for the Jag 4 pots used on pretty much all Jags since the XJS, and used on Aston DB7's too :D

The Jag pad fits great but you can not use the standard shims as the pad is 1.6 mm thicker.You also have to lenghten the pin holes by a few mm.
Here they are fitted
