Default Do I need special pads for my AP Racing Calipers?

My type R has ap racing front calipers and stock rears.

My fronts have started grinding while coming to a stop so I know im ready for some pads

Problem is the car came with this brake setup so i dunno if i can use some hawk's for regular type r's or if i need a special pad for the aprs?

Thanks for the help

Define "special".

I seriously doubt the stock ITR pads would fit.

You'll need to determine which AP caliper you have and make some inquiries once you have that info.

I actually think hawk pads for a type r would be fine....not 100% though

I want to see some pics of your AP's please

Make sure that the caliper fits the demensions on the page I put up. I think the number might also be on the caliper just look for it, if not you are going to have to get in touch with AP in England. They are bunch of great chaps, they are more than willing to lend a hand mate.

Those are excellent brakes! I used to have them on my STI. YellowKahuna is correct. Call them to make sure you get the right pads. The cost in making a long distance call is much cheaper than buying those brakes!
