Rear brake pads 1990 Excel SE

[doulou]

Can anyone help? - Jusy ordered a set of rear pads and been told by the supplier that they are the same as the Renault Fuego and Espace is this correct?

Thanks

I have seen them listed across a lot of cars.

I get mine from SJ Sports, so you know they'll fit.

The EBC Catalogue only crosses the rear Excel pads to the Toyota Supra 2.8 and one model of Celica.

Part # DP457 at www.ebcbrakesdirect.com ... £19.62 inc vat & delivery (don't forget to enter promotional code scooby58 to get that price inc free delivery!)..

Im sure the renault brake pads fit the esprit they are listed as fitting an excel but they dont, MA61 supra 2.8i are the ones that do fit

Don't forget its not just whether or not the pads physically fit properly, the friction material has to be suitable for the application also.
I doubt if Espace or whatever pads would be particularly suitable.
As one Lotus parts dept guy said to me,'do you really want to be wondering if your pads are up to the job when you're panic braking from 90 MPH'.

If you go on the brakes international website, in there catalogue all the celica brake parts are the same part numbers as the lotus excel.
