Long story short, i ended up with a set of ebc redstuff front pads on my hands that fit perfectly on paper, except they do not have the clips that go into the pistons on the inner halves.

These, redstuff dp32150c are not listed as compatible, although the yellowstuff dp42150r is compatible and exact same size. I can't seem to find any real pictures of the pads to confirm whether or not they have the clips

Stock listings photos don't help much when they're all different on different websites, even on the official ebc brakes website.

I currently have these on

Which DO have the clips that slot inside the caliper. My question is, will my wheels fall off and kill babies if that retaining clip is not present or is it just some anti-rattle clip? I'm seeking replacements due to the really loud squeaking coming out of the current ecp pagid pads. Rears were successfully cured by fitting redstuff pads

I don’t like the sound of not having the clip, there for a reason

I'm happy to report that i am alive and the brakes are dead quiet now. Unless i return here to report issues, it's safe to assume that ebc redstuff dp32150c front brake pads are fully compatible with the NON-280PS 312mm brake discs on the skoda superb mk3
