I've done some searches here and other forums and have found plenty of information on '95 C36 brake discs, but little on the pads. I know I'll be needing new pads soon and have run into the same problem that others have had with selecting the correct choice for '95 year only front brake pads.

-What is the OEM front brake pad number for '95 only?
-What is a preferred brand aside from OEM?
-Is there a general read across number that exists from after-market applications? I.E. 96-97's have the number "561" in them
-Do you run a specific pad on your '95 for a reason?

The car is a daily driver so I'd rather not go with a real agressive pad and chew up the expensive rotors. Not too concerned with brake dust either, I clean the wheels on a regular basis.

Thanks for you help,

-Dave

-OEM number should be 005-420-02-20 for a 1995 C36
-There are three other brands: Jurid, Pagid and Textar.

The main thing specific to the '95 is the rotors. They are directional, typically run about $180/200 for each side.

Thanks for the replies. I'll update the thread when I order and install a set.
