Igor, very astute.  When I wrote the post initially, I wrote "G60" but 
then changed it to "regular" since I did not have G60s.  I had swapped 
over to the ATE single piston caliper from the late '89 200TQ so that I 
could use the PFC pads.  That is the same caliper BTW as the M5 and the 
525 wagon.  It is also used on one of the Jaguar sedans.
