Peter-

I sure would consider NOT buying the pads from Imparts (or similiar companies)
if they do not know what to offer you. I was just burned with aftermarket parts
for my 91 200q, it's happened many times before.

I would call/fax Linda and get a price. You'll probably get the brake job done
right the first time for maybe 20-40% more than the parts would cost you
elsewhere. The pads will fit right, stop right and not have to be replaced for a
long time. If you're doing it yourself, you're probably not talking more than
$100 difference. If that prevents you from doing it again right away, or extends
the life by 10,000 miles, in my opinion, it's worth it.

Good luck!

Paul

91 200 q

P.S. I don't know the answer to your question!
