Hello Everyone, new to this board and already have a question.
Our 05 Mariner has the rear disc brakes that were an option in 2005. I tried ordering Hawk HPS pads from Tire Rack and when I enter the Make & Model almost all the pads have a note that reads "Front brake pads. For models with rear drum brakes." Keep in mind I'm buying these for the front brakes, not the rear.
When I called Tire Rack to double check they told me that the fronts discs are a different fitment depending on whether or not the rear were disc or drum. Is this correct? That seems strange to me unless maybe the front discs are larger as part of the rear disc option? Any suggestions? I'm looking for a pad with some really good stopping power, the OEM pads are terrible.
