Ezy03, I have the same problem - can't tell which. If you measure just the pad it's ~137mm, but if you include the tags on either side it's about 157mm. If you look at the shape of the pad, it's similar to the wider design (157mm), but there's a bronze plate it's secured with that is the shape of the smaller design (137mm). Arrgghh!

Let me know if you find out. I don't need 'em yet, but I will sometime...

i did realise in the pics they sent me that the 137 is clean from the top and the 157 has a ditch sort of thing in the middle (at the top) and two ditches at the bottom (left and right) and the 137 has a ditch in the middle at the bottom.

ill try to measure the length and then see which one has the ditches *if they are noticable)

I'm in need of new pads, and more than likely rotors for the rear at least. Has anyone dealt with these guys before?

Also, what's the advantage/disadvantage of cross-drilling and/or slots on the rotors? I presume cooling is one of them ....

havent dealt with them but im gonna guess your ass is gonna get kicked with shipping since there heavy, source locally I think would be cheaper.

That's what I was going to do next, enquire about shipping, as I didn't know how heavy they'd be... thanks for the tip!

Ezy03, have you managed to work out which of the QFM pads are the right ones for your car?

[The Max]

Has anyone tried EBC Redstuff? I used to use them on my J30 Maxima (after coming to the realisation that the Greenstuff just didn't last with my spirited driving). Of course, I didn't have as wide a selection to choose from with that car so I'd be interested to know with the greater choices for the V35/36's what people's findings are.
