Louis & Laila, I stand corrected, The front pads are different, that's what
happens when you don't turn the page, glad someone noticed my mistake, also
tells you the last time I had to change mine. But there is only two brake
rotors listed, I & II, and III onward. What is this " Pennsylvania
Regulations"?, it is listed for the rear shoes also.
