® Andy ClioSport Club Member Car Illiad V6 255 Aug 23, 2005 #2 There a few threads around which discuss the alternatives tho Ive yet to have to face this problem since Im only 4.5k miles. Try http://forum.cliosport.net/search.asp?search=v6+brake+pads&searchMode=allwords&searchIn=Topic&forum=0&searchDate=6m&searchSort=dateDESC&Submit=Start+Searchhere At the end of the day the rears are actually calipers off of a Citroen IIRC so pads can be got more cheaply. Also dont forget that V6 Mk1 and Mk2 fronts are different, but Im not sure about the rears!?

T TheRoninV6 Aug 24, 2005 #6 just remember if you change the rears yourself you need a tool to wind the piston back
