Morning,
In the process of buying some new rear discs and pads (hopefully get rid of this bloody sequel!).
I have noticed two types of pads for the rear... one with what looks like clips and one that resembles the front type...
Links here to the different types:

Which is the ones I would need for a 2.0 TSI (200)? 255mm discs...
Are they both the same? just different fixings?
Many thanks in advance!

It is the second one (with the "clips"/spring) - 87x53x17mm. I have the 255mm discs too.Shakeystevo wrote:Morning,

Sh@t - I ordered the others 
Watched a video of mk5 golf and it showed the first type. Thought it was same setup...
Certain the others won't fit?

Re: Rear Brake Pad Type
Thanks tommy. I ordered them from MTEC not euro... Just used their links lol
I've rang them and managed to get them swapped out.
Thanks for your help - much appreciated.
