Rear disc and pad change, right pads?
#1
I've got a spare rear beam that I'm changing the discs and pads on before it goes back on the car.

I ordered new brembo discs and pads - cheapest ones off eBay

the pads arrived but 3 are the same and 1 is different which seems odd.

3 of the pads have nipples (not the best descriptive word) and the other one has a dimple        

having a look through this thread

http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=20261

it says that the pads with nipples go against the piston in the notches, however having a look at the pads that came off the beam it looks the opposite way round, the ones with the dimples went against the piston and the nipples went against the calliper.

Do I need 4 pads with nipples or

2 pads with dimples and 2 with nipples?
