Default What is the difference in '03 brake pads?

I posted this in Tech and didn't get any responses...

What is the difference between rear brake pads:
Delco 171-782(12530688)
Delco 171-0879 (88964095)

The 782s are for early production 03 and the 879s are for late production (after production #128923)

Thanks in advance,

John

Slightly more bit and stopping power, but not much more

About $20

I had one friend that liked the 782's better, he said that they dusted less than the 879's. I think he just drove his car a little harder, but who knows.

ConeCrusher: Based on your autox'ing skills, I'd say the older ones hit more cones.

Thanks Ted, I've pretty much given up on killing cones. It seems there is always a conflict lately. I have been thrashing around Hallett quite a bit. Have not hit a thing out there, but the season is only half over.
