Are E30 M3 front brake pads similar shape to E30 rear pads?

Sat Feb 25, 2012 9:48 am

I have some M3 race brake pads but not clear on what they are. Initially I thought they were rear pads, as they look like a bigger version of normal E30 rear pads, but I've googled images part numbers etc to check, and it looks like they may be front pads. So do M3 front pads look like a bigger version of normal E30 rear pads? Photo to follow shortly.

C'mon chaps, somebody must have an M3 and knows what the front pads look like?

Tis hard to tell if they are front or rear from that pic as there is nothing to compare them with, size wise...

Both front and rear M3 pads look the same other than the size...rear ones are a fair bit smaller...
