too bad you don't have the original anymore. I'd ask you to measure the thickness of the "pads" with a caliper. The second pic "pads" don't look as thick, but mayb'e I'm just seeimg things

It's hard to tell from those pictures, but it looks like they changed to a different friction material.

If they do not chatter,  .
If they still do, it's back to stock SVT clutch for me. The chatter on mine is ridiculous.
