  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Here in the UK the Genesis is very rare (49 according to the government stats) and so aftermarket pads are not available.

I purchased two pairs of Bendix pads, CFC1799 and CFC1551 from ebay paying for international shipping and customs duties. The 1799s fitted perfectly on the front, but the rear pads are a different size. The width is the same, as is the fitting, but the height of the pad is about 5mm less than what is presently fitted to the car.

Does anyone know if there are two different size pad/disc combos on the rear of the car depending on the model? (I can't go outside and measure right now unfortunately).

Bendix haven't replied to my email to them about the pads :(

I've attached a photo below of the new pad on top of the old pad for comparison.

The good news is that the pads give good pedal feel and significantly reduced amount of dust on the front wheels!

Thanks
