Hello all,

I co-own a 1.8 NA.

My co-owner has snagged an ebay bargain on some brake pads. The advert listed for a Mk2, but the pads that have arrived are for a mx5 1.6 (89-98) - which is a 1.6 NA if I'm correct? He won't believe me that these pads will be too small as the 1.8 has larger discs and pads.

Am I wrong or can I stay on my high horse?

And as an aside, will they fit if he tries? I assume they will length wise, just they aren't as wide so you lose braking performance as well as I guess uneven wear and probably some danger?

cheers!
