i have got some of the above pads for the coop, ref fds998, i went to fit these today and they where bigger than the standard pads, they are the same shape but longer. I cant remember where i bought these from to take them back, the box was opened when i was sent these on the back it says fiat coupe 20vt 220 cv??? have i got the right ones?! http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=3723648 they are the same as these...

How much longer 2-3 mm?
If so you have two choices. File the pads or remove the stainless steel guide on the Callipers and clear away the corrosion that has built up under them and forced them out. However removing the guides is not easy as the torx head screw easily gets rounded.

A very common coupe problem and why I file my pads

i managed to get all 3 of the 4 out when i was cleaning it up to put the pads in, the amount of cr@p that was around them was mental!!

have i got the right pads? has someone got the right part number?!

According to this page The Answer appears to be yes for the 20V

I got them matey and the part number is FCP721H. Europerformance don't have these for 20VT. I got them from Motorsport World.

whooops.... looks like i might have ordered the wrong ones... but the 20v one are bigger than the 20vt ones... that odd...
looks like i best re-order some

the coop brembo pads dont have the slot at the top. i think FCP721 is the right part number.

cool thanks, i will have to order some today... anyone want any for a 20v? got some going! haha!

does anyone know the cheapest place to get these from?! motorsport world is £112.25 all in

I think motorsport world is the cheapst matey

thanks, i will order these tomorrow....

http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=3724117 could someone confirm that these are the right ones for the coop... these are far cheaper than motorsport world

Dude, I told you that these guys hasn't got these pads and I gave you part number already. The ones you are now asking for are Ferodo DS Performance not DS2500.

PS for a set of good pads you have to pay some £££

i bought the above ones in the link and they are the right ones! The coop is even listed on the back of the box, just got to bed then and the 3g's in now...

Would you mind to post a pic of the box because I cannot believe that these are DS2500 In fact, I am sure you bought wrong ones, mate. Have a look on this thread: http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=594734 and here: http://www.rsattitude.fr/2-237-25-plaquettes-ferodo-racing-ds2500-etriers-bre.html

The ones you bought are DS2100 I suppose.

i will post a pic of the box when i get home, they might not be the ds2500, that would explain why they where black and not red like the rears....
they work at the mo so they will do for now

Mine aren't red as well mate but they are ds2500 from motorsportworld.

FCP721 is the shape, the "H" at the end denotes the pad material, in this case DS2500.

so, the part number u should get is FCP721H.
