Are the pads for 1G calipers the same as for all other mkiii's?
I need to replace mine, there's green stuff on there at the mo, can anyone recommend a good place to get a set? (or recommend a different pad).
Thanks

I used pads for my 7M on my 1G before i did the upgrade. Seemed to work fine.
I will say that you should really see if you can find a set of calipers from a 3Ltr...Its a bolt on fit and it makes a world of difference when you need to stop because the disc is 300mm instead of the the stock JDM 275mm!!

Cool cheers guys,
3lt calipers are on the list of things to do but I've got a track day in a couple of weeks so want to take some spare pads. I just wanted to check 3lt ones will fit. I'll be able to transfer them once I upgrade to bigger discs anyway :-)
I assume there's no difference from James' guide for the 1G.

It's 3lt discs you need and 3lt caliper carriers the actual caliper is the same afaik, So new discs and and carrier brackets off any scrap 3lt will sort you out.
