05 Brake pad different sizes

Anyone know if an 05 Coupe Sports Suspension has different sized fronts vs rear brake pads? I swear i read it on the forum somewhere that they do but couldnt find much else.

Was looking at these on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FRONT-REAR-D...72.m2749.l2649 and ebay compatibility lists it as compatible for the 05 coupe but one set of the pads are visually and physically smaller than the other. If they are varying sizes, do the large brake pads go up front and smaller in rear? Thanks!

I haven't looked it up to verify but the larger pads almost ALWAYS go in the front since that's what does the vast majority of the work in stopping your vehicle.

Almost made a mistake one time doing the brakes on a GMC 3500 dually, the larger pads actually went in the REAR lol.

Confirmed that larger pads go up front, smaller in rear. Silly me I could've just looked while the car was parked and seen the difference. Thanks guys
