Can anyone recommend a source for a pair, please?
Mine are showing the first signs of possible cracking - they have worn, well, too.
Thanks.

They look the same as the 9-5 Aero rears.

Dicss and pad secured, now to the job. 2 hours or so, right?
Spent most of this morning and afternoon wasting time trying to get the last remaining nut off that retains the outer pad carrier.
Still will not budge, and I am not at happy bunny, at all. That a nut stops you from getting a E18 socket on full is a joke.
100lb + torque. whose idea was this?

I couldn't hold the E socket on well enough.  I ended up with a ring spanner with a bar on it.

Thanks, Will.
Yes, tried the ring spanner and bar, as well as the correct socket and extension.
No dice - even when using the weight of the car to at least start to shift it. (It was set up safely)
I read tonight that the retainer might not need to be moved - which was good and bad news  ;)

Job finished, along with a test drive this evening. It turns out the retainer does not need to be removed.
The only issue I had today were the retaining bolts - rusted in with useless star heads - holepunched. moved around and removed.
Here's a mock with vinyl cut, in rapidly fading light, with a view to painting the callipers again - time, necessity, and the weather meant I could not do this today
