You need the later pad. You will have the same problem with the back. Check out the Stoptech link in the thread. |

You have to measure the width of the ears on the brake pads. Some have 02 brakes, 02/03 mixed, or 03. Mine are 02/03. Post the width here in mm and somebody will tell you what you have.

Are we still having problems w/ this??
up to 06/02 or thereabouts - old fr/old rear (13mm tabs on both) about 7/02 to 10/02 - new fronts/old rears (10mm tabs - 13 mm tabs - so a visual should confirm that the rear tabs are larger) 11/02-12/02 - new fronts/mix in rear so you must check 1/03 on - new fronts/new rears (10mm tabs/7 mm tabs) Lets apply logic - if the rear tabs are smaller than the front tabs then you have NEW rear pads. (7 is less than either 10 or 13) |

I wish they would but the tap measurements in the sticky.
I didn't even have to pull the wheels off to measure them. |

mine is 01/03 and I called one of the dealership and check which pads do i have, and then they ask me for my VIN to look into the system. they told me i have the older style pads .. I am so confuse . i guess i will have to take off a wheel and measure it sometimes this weekend .
edit : just ran downstairs to measure . 7mm tab Last edited by polarpreza; 02-08-2007 at 04:55 AM. |

That doesn't agree with your dealer saying you have 'old style' pads
old pad in old bracket new pad in old bracket |
