Yup. The only difference i saw was, the outer pads have raised dimples, and the inner pads have recessed dimples.

The difference is the outer pads have no humps for the caliper pistons while the inners do. Don't know how that affected things, but, don't put both inner pads on one side.

This thread... saved me $200 in parts for a master cylinder as well as the price of fluid and either a pneumatic brake bleeding tool or a "professional bleed" from the dealer. Who'd have thought I could screw this up?! Thank you so much!
