Since one can use some or all V8 pads in the 4-cylinder cars with
standard calipers, perhaps one should say that SOME pads for the
4-cylinder models are handed, while others are not. In the sheet that
comes with the Greenstuff pads, the note clearly shows how the pads
should be installed with regard to how they are handed.
