[QUOTE="akurma, post: 15569183, member: 184627"] Finished up the rear rotors and pads today, Turns out Rockauto sent me the wrong pads, I assume they are for a GT/V6 because i was able to get the exact same Powerstop Z17 pads at my local parts store the part numbers are exactly the same EXCEPT at the end on the new pads is the letter "A" the pads rockauto sent didn't have "A" anyway once i took them out of the box i noticed the pads were half as thick as the one i was sent from rockauto.
