    question about rear brakes

    I'm buying a set of rear pads online. The seller says "the rear pads are with one PIN." Is that accurate? I have no idea when it comes to this stuff...

    Thanks,

    still, it should have 2 pins. i think any benz made since the late 70's/ early 80's has 2 pins holding the rear pads.

    My 2000 C 230 K has ONE pin rear pads.
    Most times the VIN will verify 1 or 2 pin.

    Yes, I have a few mods, but they\'re so discrete, my wife hasn\'t noticed them.
