Front: FA181R

Rear: FA208TT

You get a bit more choice (three different pad types) buying from EBC Direct and the prices are the same as Wemoto. Just avoid the MXS pads, they are too aggressive for normal riding on and off road.

It's slightly confusing at the front though as the pad kit is quoted as being "front left" because it is the same part (pad set) as the XTR which only has a left hand caliper (due to the XTR preceding the Z by four years, and they never changed the part/kit numbers info in 2008). The kit will do one caliper only. Ignore the "front left" bit. The pads are the same both sides on the Z at the front, so you just need to order two sets in order to do both front calipers.

So you need to order:

2x FA181R (front sintered)
1x FA208TT (rear organic)
