Title: Front disc pads - inside/outside?
Post by: Dave G on 30 July 2011, 10:31:29

Fitting new front discs & pads this morning. Genuine GM set. Two of the four pads have a sort of mat on the back plate.

I'm assuming that one pad is on the piston side and one on the caliper side, but which?

I'm leaning towards the mat coated ones being in contact with the caliper. Does anyone have any idea? The 'instructions' don't say either.

Oh, and I took the old ones out without noticing which way round they were.  :-/

Cheers,
