nevermind - they are.

Question though - I will need extra fluid after I change out these pads, correct? and it can only be the Girling stuff? thanks a lot

You can also use Castrol GTLMA as well. Grab yourself a couple of pints and flush the system out while you're at it. Brake fluid absorbs water and gets pretty nasty after a few years. Keep fresh fluid in there and your master and wheel cylinder will last much longer.

thanks! can I get that Castrol at an auto parts place, or should I start looking around online right now?

Pepboy's by me is the only place I can find LMA around me in S.E. Michgan.

I have not been able to find either brand of compatible brake fluid locally.
