The left hand pads on front and back are the same, right front one is opposite.....
They'll feel kinda weak at first, after you really clamp down on the front and rear a couple of times (really hard stops), they'll seat into the rotors and feel fine....
All the auto places started carrying bike tuneup/maint. stuff like oils, lubes, filters /plugs....they were missing out on alot of money....

This is what I've ran for years. Smooth and quiet. Stops great.
