Stillen Brake

I get my new stillen front rotors and 4 wheels pads, I went to shop to install them. The front rotors and pads are working fine, but the shop told me the back wheels pads are same size, but too WIDE.
So, is anyone have same problem ??

I've seen that problem happen to me. I bought Metal Master pads for my front and rear. The front fit fine but the rears didn't. Same problem as yours. Mines is a 2K1.. I found out that since my car was a late production 2001 model Nissan used the brake housing for a 2K2 for just my rears. So I have to get rear 2K2 brakes pad for my 2K1. Weird. But true, I called up DaveB and he confirmed it with my vin#.

They stopped making them around then. It's possible you might have the same problem. Call up DaveB And South Point Nissan.

You should post this in the FAQ's and probably the parts list.

I didn't know that!
