Bendix Titanium brake pad questions

I have a 1988 Formula 350 with the WS6 pkg. 4 wheel discs (9 bolt rear). I would like to install the Bendix Titanium pads MKD154 but can only find the fronts.
My question is for the rear discs...do they make them(part no.???) or are the fronts compatable to the rears????
Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Front and Rears are diffferent. You will need to search a little more or soneone has a p/n for you. I use PF z-rated pads and the 89 & later 9-bolt PBR rears are expensive vs the fronts.

Wow, I dunno about yout Bird, but on my 88 IROC with J65 brakes, the front and rear use the same pads. MKD154. In fact, I just bought 2 sets, for fronts and rears, along with 4 new rotors and some Earl's lines and solobleeds to put on. If you have the iron single piston calipers on the rear (like I do), then you wilkl also use the same pads on the rear.

Thanks for the reply.......Yes I have the J 65 code and doing the search I finally ran into the "RIGHT" word combo and found your posts along with Chickenman35 posts on this subject BUT not till after I ordered MKD154 for the front and the D154 for the rear(per Lordco rep)....will try them out this summer when Bird is back on the road from storage but will order another set of MKD154 for the rear. I should have been more patient but the Bird is a "keeper"(Im the original owner).

Return the D154s with some cash in exchange for the MKDs.

The 154 should have keyed you off that they're the same pads.

Unfortunately not practical for me..live in Ontario Canada..15 minutes from Niagara Falls and my son bought them for me where he lives Vancouver B.C.
Checked around here and no one carries the Bendix line anymore so they are on their way now.

Drive across the border and find a Kragens/Checkers/Shucks and buy them there.

I've been to Niagra Falls. The Canadian side is very nice. American side sux.

I was able to get them in Toronto.

I've been using them for a couple years and my car sees a lot of track days at mosport - I find them to be a pretty good pad for what they are.

Wow, the Bendix TiMets are a huge improvement! Well worth the cost.

Well, to be honest I also put on all new rotors at the same time. Raybestos. BruteStops in the front, PG-Plus in the back.

I got a couple of sets from another place in the west end but I can't find the invoice; if it surfaces when I do my taxes I'll post the name.
