Is there any issue using calipers that were once ABS on a none ABS car?

anyone know if the ibiza 16v setup needs 16mm or 19mm thick pads? i've come across both listed!


I don't think a semi will give the same results

depends which ibiza 16v you're on about! they had both 256 and 280mm brakes, depending on if its 1.8 or 2.0 16v.
