There are 2 or 3 that have the same base plate but the pad is thicker than the savage uses - I ended up with a too thick set once myself - so just as a quick check is the pad thicker than the base plate? if so it's unlikely they will fit

Well, My EBC's I have hangin in the garage say the same thing. FA106,, no X, No groove, sticker about ATV's, pad thicker than steel backing.. Either yours are gonna work, TOO, or mine aint gonna work, EITHER! Lemme know how that goes,, okay? These were ordered from a local shop. So far they have never handed me a wrong part. I hope these work out.

Hey HEEY! I see on the backing plate it says FA106 X , so I guess that means I am in Bizzniss,,I hope you are too. Look closely, the markings are pretty faint.

if you end up with the thick ones you'll know it - the pads are at least twice as think as the base - not any room left for the rotor - think I still have them some place I'll try to find them this evening and check the part number - can't remember if they were ebc or not

FA106X is the right one, they have lasted over 8K so far

The same thing happened to me when I ordered a set from Bike Bandit. In fact it's happened twice. The first time they made it right and sent me the right ones. The last time they told me that the reason they sent the red ones was because they were out of the FA106 and FA106X is an "acceptable" replacement. I sent them back and then Bike Bandit said they couldn't get the right ones. If you go to EBC website you'll find that the red pads with the X are designed more for motocross, and they say they won't last as long as the right ones. They might have put a sticker on the pads that say FA106, but they are what they are marked on the pads themselves, FA106X. I don't recall seeing any other pads designed for street application that were red. They might work, but they are not the primary application pads for the Savage. My .02.

I didn't use the blue stuff on the back of the pads...do I really need it?
