Hello All.
The rear pads need changing. I've used EBC before - Greenstuff for my Civic - and had nice results, so thought i'd go for them again.
Ordered up a set of Yellowstuff rear pads from EBC (Ensured that I had picked the correct car model on their site (Not UK Integra R) and thought, great a nice little pressie on its way to me...
I received the following emails today(including my responses also):
Them:
Hi
You have stated that you have Brembo calipers.
The part number ordered below is for rear brake calipers which are not Brembo calipers.
Your car may have Front brembo calipers fitted.
Please confirm?

Hi
We are not sure if this is a Brembo caliper or if someone has stuck a Brembo sticker on "a.n.other" Japanese caliper!
EBC only list the DP41193R pad shape for both the Type R and Type S DC5 models.
Shape of DP41193R is here:

Can you view your existing pads to confirm the pads we are sending are correct?
--------
Now.. my question is - sticker or no sticker!!??
They sure look real and brake like they are real, in need of new pads or not!
Can anyone refute or confirm what EBC are saying here?
Anyone with experience using these pads? Which code you used to order the pads with?
Sorry there's so many questions - but hopefully if anyone else encounters the same problem they'll have some reference and I can give EBC an answer too!
Thanks very much in advance!
