Default WP and WQ Front Brake Pads

I was ordering a set of front brake pads for my WQ Fiesta. I had a look at bendix.com.au and saw the WP's brake pads so I took down the part number and went to Autobarn to order one. After about 2 days, the autobarn dude called and asked me about my car... name, model, year, engine size, ABS etc etc... so if he's got excellent listening skill he should have this info "WQ Fiesta LX, 1.6l engine, 2006 model, ABS & front brake pads."

Hmm, I hope he gets the right pads.

So my question is, would the WP's and WQ's front brake pads be different? I dont think so... but what do you think?


Cheers,

Ivan

Sweet! i've got them. Thanks man. Now a new question... do brake pads have storage life? How long can I store them until I install them?

Cheers.

I would think if you store them in a cool dry place storage wouldn't have any negatives. Even if a layer of shite forms it will be worn with the 1st application.

They'll be fine, just keep them in the box, in a dry place, should be ok for years.
