Hey Tony, that's an interesting hypothesis, I did notice that these seem larger, the 'backing plate' anyway than other new versions I've seen, thought it might've been the color and an illusion, but due to the way they set up / sit inside the caliper with the pin and all, if they weren't snug I could see how they'd slide around while floating, and clack... I've got a bunch of Camaro 530 / 533 calipers around and will test fit these - not sure I have a new offshore AutoZone or Kragen set, but I could go pick up a set and compare... might be worthwhile to investigate... might take me a couple of days, but stay tuned.

Sorry for the delay Tony, forgot all about this.


I did go and dig up an original low mile pair of Delco pads and just compared them. The gold aftermarket ones I have on hand right now are the exact same size as far as the backing plate the pad is riveted to. See photo directly below.


Hope this helps.

Also, sYc Friends, I have two sets of these available now. One has a factory applied blue-ish light type of coating, maybe corrosion inhibitor or anti-squeak.

Either way, still $95 shipped to the 48 for either set of four - PayPal F&F for either set of four pads, enough for two calipers / front of one car.

$160 PP F&F for both sets / all eight pads.

8% tax on shipments to CA.

Thanks sYc,
Anthony

Happy New Year sYc Friends.


Both set sold pending payment.


Cheers, and thank you all.
