ERA Rear Suspension Calipers/Pads
 
Many, many fine fun miles on my ERA 289FIA. Now it's time to replace the brake pads. I am looking at some Baer ceramic pads, and for the rear 97 Camaro calipers there are two choices, the only discernible difference being the price:

$82.49/set
Product Line: Baer DecelaPads Brake Pads
Summit Racing Part Number: BHI-D0413
FMSI Reference Number: D213/D295/D413

$118.49/set
Product Line: Baer DecelaPads Brake Pads
Summit Racing Part Number: BHI-D0295
FMSI Reference Number: D213/D295/D413

Anyone know which will fit the ERA outboard brake calipers (97 Camaro).

My current rear pads produce a lot of dust, so I am looking forward to having cleaner wheels. Also, "set" = four pads, two for each side??

Same issue on the front, really, for the 70 Camaro SSBC calipers I am using. Two different Baer brake pad sets, but these have different FMSI Reference Numbers:

$64.49
Product Line: Baer DecelaPads Brake Pads
Summit Racing Part Number: BHI-D0052
FMSI Reference Number: D52/D122/D313

$95.49
Product Line: Baer DecelaPads Brake Pads
Summit Racing Part Number: BHI-D0154
FMSI Reference Number: D138/D154/D202

The SSBC calipers should use the stock pads, if I recall correctly. Anyone know which of these would be correct? And what the hell is the FMSI?

Friction Materials Standards Institute. Take some pics of the calipers when you change out the pads. Someone told me that those particular calipers required "screwing" the piston back in, because it is constantly adjusting itself for the emergency brake. A few years ago Bob checked in to that and reported that that was not correct. He said you just compress it back in like non-emergency brake equipped calipers.
