guys, changing the front rotors on my car to d r1 slotted, cross drilled, went to pep boys, to get some new pads, and they not fit... they were smaller.... so I thought that they had given me the incorrect ones... so I returned them and went to advanced ( hate that place) and I had already mesured the pads that I have on right now, and the ones that advanced had were also too small..... the pads the car has right now are nissan, hitachi hp66h gg
they are 52mm high and 6.25" across can some one help me find these little suckers???

 

no idea????

 

How much smaller are they? It's not uncommon for aftermarket pads to not match up exactly to the same size as OE pads. A few MM off, while bad for performance, isn't bad for actual fitment.

 

I ran into that problem also. It is a mid year change over. It uses the same pads as a 2005 Q45. That pads will work. Hope this helps.

 

KOOL....hopefully they match the q45 pads.... the pads that they give u on pep boys and those places are bout 1/2" shorter in width and 1/4" on height... thanks guys

 

Buy the factory stock pads or go to a reputable speed retailer (NIMSO, Stillen, TireRack, etc.) for equal or higher performance parts. I would call going to PB, Kragen's, etc, for parts as important as brake pads for this car more of a downgrade.

 

do they know that you have the brembo brakes??

 

these are not the brembo brakes, the pads are bigger, but not as rectangulary shaped as the brembos, they cannot be removed from the top either.... hopefully the q45 ones fit, and pep boys has ceramic pads for sale, those are the ones that I was getting.....

 

I have been having the same problem! I have a 2005 coupe and every option is to small from autozone ec. They do say Nissan hitachi hp66h 66 I'm going to try the 2005 q45 pads. The guy from autozone was like just try them and I was like really its not a old chevy that l want loose parts on lol.

 

Go to Tirerack..they have the Satisfied Ceramics and they are a dead on for size on the Brembos..if you're looking for low cost quality...my last pair last over 2yrs w/ hard driving.
