The words 'nice' and 'green stuff' don't go together when it comes to braking.

the pads do actually fit into the caliper carrier and do work, i found this out because some numpty had used 2 266 mm pads in my gti6 when i got it, it had 283 pads on the outside in each caliper and a 266 on the inside each side, it had buggered the discs badly but they brakes didnt fail on the mot when other stuff did.
not something i would recommened tho
