GRRRR! read me...

ordered some new brakepds but thy wont fit on the frontbrakes!

So i called the local shop and i told them they were too short.
They told me to check how much pistons there are in a caliper, so i checked and there are 2 of them in each caliper.

Is that special or anything?

I also have to shorten my driveshaft, so i wanted to cut a piece out and weld it again, but after i cleaned the shaft i noticed it is made of aluminium! *sigh* are they always of aluminium? or is that special too?

im getting kinda frustated lately.

I wouldn't complain. Sounds like you have 1LE brakes and you confirmed the aluminum DS part.

Most people would be jumping for joy...
