Hi guys!
I have recently come across this issue when going for a brake pad change...
I ordered a set of Dixcel Type ES brake pads for my EUDM FK7, reference 331256. And when my mechanic went to install them, they were physically different.
The manufacturer of my brake calipers is ATE, my mechanic said these are the same brand and format used in German cars like VW.
So my question for you guys is:
Anybody else from Europe here in the forums that has had this issue before?
And can anyone from USA/Japan get me the part number for the brake calipers that come stock on their FK7?
As for now I have already ordered a set of brake pads made for my car, but looking into the possibility of upgrading/retrofitting the "normal" brake calipers onto my car, as I also suspect that the braking power might be slightly inferior on these calipers/pads vs the USDM/JDM calipers/pads due to pad surface area at least...
Hit me up and keep this thread going!
Thank you!
