stevie_b Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Are JSpec brake pad carriers "sided" (i.e. specific to the left and right sides of the car)? Not that I can tell but thought I'd make sure. On my fronts, one is stamped as L and one as R, but looking at the marks left by the piston heads, it looks like the L one was fitted to the driver's side and vice versa!

Chris Wilson Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 They are handed yes, and R and L mean what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Ah but is r drivers as in car or passenger as looking at car I would say drivers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Left and right in automotive terms ALWAYS refers to an aerial view of the car. Imagine a photo of the top of the car on a piece of A4 in portrait fashion, the front of the car at the top. Left is always the left of the paper, right is always the right of the paper. Referencing from a drivers seat is meaningless as some cars are LHD, some RHD and the lucky owners of McLarens first road car are in total limbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
