rear vs front brake size

Post by dinosabella »

Hi,

Looking to order a set of pads and rotors for my 77 of of an online place in Canada.

I have heard that the front and rear rotors are the size size. Are the brake pads the same size in the front and back as well?

Thanks

Rear pads have a pin that fits in the slot on the face of the caliper piston too. You use the same rotors front and back however the calipers and brake pads are different.
