Thanks.  I shot him a message as I didn't see 215s listed.  

Even cheaper for EBC.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Front-br ... 56462b407b

What is the difference between the 215 and 214s?  

I bought a set that were suppose to be rears, but they sent me FA 196 (these are for later Tigers I think).  The 215s went on easy peasy.

214 and 215 are left and right for front

technically the 215 for the rear is a 215/2 it has a little thinner brake lining

you can use a plain 215 on the rear easy enuff also

garrett

Yeah I was a little confused when I got the 215s.  Since I got the wrong pads for the rear, I tossed the 215s on the back and then wondered why I didn't get more sets of them.  haha
