Trying to buy EBC pads for my 2018 1.8FR - the EBC web site shows 2 types for the rear of this model with the 272mm solid discs.
TRW and ATE. Enquiry to EBC suggests I take the calliper off to take a picture of the pad to identify the correct type.
They say the VIN number does not identify the type of calliper fitted.
Is there any way to identify the calliper to get the correct pads to fit?
thanks

ATE = EPB; electric park brake - which I think you'd have on a 2018.
The VIN would show the correct caliper/pad.

That’s the most useful response I have got from anybody including Seat UK!
Thank you
