Hi Sam Pryor,
While I hate to even slightly disagree with such a legend as Reddtarga, I am not sure that he is 100% correct about rear pads being exactly the same for both early & later cars.
Some time ago I posted some pics of two types of pads of the same size & shape, but with smaller & larger locating pins. That post is titled "GEN3 SW20 brake pad part number" & was initiated by flypig.
When I changed my rears, it had the pads with the smaller pins, & the pads had moved around a little & appeared to have prematurely worn on one edge.
I believe that the later callipers require the pads with the larger diameter locating pins, which is what I put back in.
Best Regards,
