i have a 2006 6mt coupe. i got some pads from advanced auto but they were too small took them back and couldn't find anything to fit. went to pep boys and they matched my pad with a brembo brake pad. i don't have any logos or color on my brakes they look stock. did i miss something or do the 06's come with brembo brakes?

 

no, only 03-04 6mt have brembos

 

then why did i have to replace my pads with the "brembro" pads

Yeah, Pep Boys wanted to give me the wrong pads, based on their system. Autozone doesn't differentiate between Brembo and non-Brembo on the front pads for 2006. They have "Akebono calipers (With 3 triangles cast in body of caliper)" and another. You sound like you have what I have, which would be the 'other' in Autozone's system, and one of the Brembo options in Pep Boy's system.

It's an 888, or PGD888M, in the case of the pads I got from Pep Boys. Confusing as hell and warranted a couple purchases and quick returns to compare.
