Not sure on what the go is with the DB1166 pad, they are quite different to
any Skyline R31 rears that I've seen. The DB1106 is the common one and also
preferred as it's made on the same plate as the DB1086 (VL Commy minus the
piston retaining lug) which is available in Ultimates, good price on that
site at $67. These are very different to the DB1166 which interestingly came
up if you search on Skyline R31 and aren't too bad I spose as I also noticed
they are available in Premium.

Zac,
I also noticed that they list 2 diferent pads for R31 rears.Everyone reckons
the DB1106 fits the oz r31 so maybe the DB1166 fits the import r31's.
