Technically it would have been nice to know exactly whi8ch pad was where when fitted to the previous car, but if you fit tham you should bear in mind that the pads might need bedding in slightly, red calipers=22B!!! But that doesn't make them any better than any other standard 4 pots!

MDB1416 is simply the part number that Mintex assign to the Subaru 4pot shape...............there is normally another number as well, like 1144, 1155, etc. if they are more perf. orientated.............

personally find the Mintex 1100 series of materials a little old hat now, although they are quite reasonably priced...............

The number rings a bell for the four pot pads, there should be a '1144' or '1155' type number aswell.
200 sti could mean anything, but only the 22b's ever had red calipers!
