Wilwood M16 Powerlites

Probably a really daft question but here goes.
I'm contemplating refrubing my M16 calipers with BigRed or buying Wilwood M16 Powerlites from Rally Design.
I have new EBC Greenstuff pads for standard M16 calipers.........will these fit the Wilwoods if I go down this route?
As I said probably a daft question but want to make sure before shelling out the hard earned spondoolies!!
Thanks,
Matt

They are indeed different pads, although you can get a fair range of pads for the powerlites including the M1144 which appears to be the bad of choice for most apps.

Claire, if you want some greenstuffs (or atlease i assume that what they are, as i dont know of any other pad that comes in that hue) you can have mine, i was given them by another forum member but they are about to become surplass as ive inherited some M1144's for a tenner.


Im also in the 're-ferb the m16 or get willwoods' stage of brakes and have decided to go with some m16's from big red. The willwood route is supprising more expensive by the time you have the calipers and pads (and you might as erll get disks...) and as far as i can see you only gain a the reduction in sprung wieght, which if im honest, i dont think im going to notice.

Hence my plan is to go for the economay paint finish m16 referb. Paying an extra £20 for stainless pistons, slap a coat of my own paint on them, and see how that goes.
