Just a quick update...

I did compare the rear pads to the front pads, and even though they look the same, the fronts are definitely larger. I'm thinking that maybe the stock S pads are just missing the higher parts that come with the Textar pads because the stock pads are used with vibration dampers?

Also, I got a few coats of paint on the calipers last night, and I don't care for the color. I used Dupli-Color Engine Enamel (Red - DE1653), and it's too dark... almost closer to brick red. I went back to the store today and picked up a can of Chevrolet Orange-Red (DE1607) to try. The can cap looks pretty close, but I'm skeptical. Does anyone have a high-temp spray recommendation that's a close match to Guards Red?
