Identical in shape and size, the 170-03 will directly replace the 170-01 pad set. The 170-03 pad was introduced for the Conquest model and has a more aggressive metallic lining to increase braking force. Replacement of the 170-01 with the newer 170-03 will usually improve turning on an older Argo which specifies 170-01 as the replacement pad.

Comments:
The new 170-03 brake pad was designed for the increased braking necessary for the latest generation of Argo vehicles. It is a metallic puck material and really does a much better job than the older 170-01 brake pad. The new pads are compatable with the older calipers, so they will fit any argo with hydraulic brakes.
