Default Brake pads

Does anyone know how I would go about buying pads for my vette, when I bought it the brakes and suspension were already upgraded to brembo's and coil overs. Short of taking the old ones off and trying to match them up. Any input appreciated.

There should be a Bembro part # on the calipers. I would get that part # for front and rear (to be safe) and go to a good parts counter like NAPA. Or you can call Bembro with the part # and ask for help.

Since you will have to remove the old pads at some point anyway it might be worthwhile to take them with you so parts guy can compare them with his book.

PM carbotechAdam, he may be able to tell from the picture which brembo kit you have.

If you want to go back to stock j55 I'll trade you even
