USDM vs JDM Brake Pad Difference

Hi,

I've been lurking for a while but this is my first post i think?

I live across the pond and am looking to order some Hawk HPS+ pads from Turbo Import (They are cheaper in the states). But before i place my order i'm wondering if anyone can confirm that the pads will fit my 1994 JDM Type R II.

Thanks and Regards

Good thing because i bought a set of 93 EBC green stuff with the assumption that they where the same.

The 99spec were the only ones with different brakes, they came with larger rotors and calipers.

WIDER front calipers & larger rotors.

Same pads for all years.

The larger brake carried a different pad.....probably only compounding. Backing plate dimensions, as you say, are all the same.
