Mark by bolt on you mean brembos??

With adapters, they become bolt-on. Not withstanding that all brakes are bolted on in some form anyway...

Yes.

which means also when I change wheels from stock there will be no issues I assume?

You will just have to ensure the new wheels clear Brembo's.

hey guys i think i just put my pads together successfully...

iv uploaded photos can someone double check, im worried that there might be a left or right and particularly with the rears they have a little tab and unsure if its on the correct side or its importance...

thanks guys!!

fronts

rears

Looks fine from here. Pads are generally universal in which side they go on, however if one of your pads have a tab sticking out of them that comes out and down towards the face of the pad, that's a wear marker and that pad should be put on the inside closest to the car as the inside pad wears faster than the outside one and therefore will hit the wear marker first.

So that tab I'm pointing to on the rear, is that the wear mark?? And I couldn't put that pad with that tab on the other side as it would foul on the adapter and I couldn't find the bolt holes

Hope that made sense
