Porsche 993 front brake pads are the same as Ferrari 355 rears (...i'm 99%)

f355 and 348 use the same brake pads front and rear.

They also share the same pads too.

The 993 Carrera uses these brake pads for the rear.

E39 sport models share the same front bumper with the E39 M5.

Only on the M5 the middle lip is removed to give the appearance of a wider airdam on the front bumper.

So you have never sat behind someone and begun to get a headache from them having their brake lights stuck on?

Newer cars especially, a lot of them (particularly German cars) have rather bright brake lights that effect my eyes quite badly. Mind you I do have rather sensitive eyes since having both retinas partially detached about seven years ago. It may just be that.

Do you mean Fog lights?

It's impossible to have your brake lights on all the time.

The front brake calipers on a vx220 are the same as the rears on a MG ZT-260

Don't suppose the discs are the same?

Nope. The hub is different.

The BMW 840, 850, Ferrari 456, 550 Maranello and Honda Integra Type R all share the same front brake pads.

The Ferrari F355 is the same bodyshape as the 348.

If you took the doors and wheels off the F355 and put them on a 348 from side on both cars would look the same.

The Bentley Arnage has the same bodyshell as the Rolls Royce Silver Seraph.

The Silver Seraph has the same V12 engine as a BMW 750i while the Arnage uses the same unit as the E39 BMW 540i albeit tuned by Cosworth.
