Front brake pads on a 400 - Vented disk

[gsx600]

Anyone know what vehicle they come from on, as I want to pop out to a local motor factor this weekend and hopefully purchase over the counter !

I'm guessing a Granada of some sorts ?

Mk 2 Grandad if 2-pots.
That venerable old charabanc the Austin Priceless if 4-pots.

Your 400 should have the Princess calipers fitted. But I doubt you'll be able to buy pads off the shelf. I would stick to well known brands like Ferodo, Mintex, EBC - and choose the compound depending on whether its just for road use or trackdays as well.

Anyone know if the 450 use different pads to the 400 ?

choose your pad according to what use you put the car to .. mintex do a wide range from road to full race ..

They use the same caliper as standard, so unless they've been changed for something else, yes they do use the same pads.

I put in Mintex 1144 fast road / race pads from Tim Lamont at ACT well pleased with them. Put in fronts and new pads on the back as well.
