I ran into this when I replaced pads. I ordered Green Stuff pads from TireRack and they send the wrong ones. They didn't seem to know about the different sizes until I told them. It all depends when the car was manufactured. I think after 5/99 the caliper is the same size but the pad is smaller (what's up with that?). That's the "problem".
Actually, the E0's have different calipers AND pads.
Most E1's (after 98.5) have the old syle pre-SVT caliper but the larger brackets.
So they use the old style pads, but have the larger rotors.
As for Green Stuffs, send those pieces of crap back. I used those and they suck. More dust than stuck, prone to causing rotors warp, and the friction material has a tendency to unglue itself from the backing plates!
Not to blow my own trumpet, but the Bendix TitaniuMetallics I offer, or the *NEW* Bendix PErformance Ceramics will blow those overpriced pieces of crap out of the water!
PM me if you want pads, but you need to do it TODAY as I leave for Australia for a 3 week vacation on the 26th, Friday so I would need to receive payment from you and shipp by Thursday.
