so yesterday i was in the porcess of swapping over brake pads and discs on the front on the boxster (s model).
i took out the used Tektar pads which were the same shape as below (only focus on the top edge);
and i was fitting Ferodo DS2500 pads which are this shape (again only focus on the top edge);
notice the difference in the shape of the top edge. the old pads had the rounded ends which gave somewhere for the spring clip to sit against. both pads are exactly the same shape in regards to the matting face and the other 3 pad fitting edges.
i have fitted the new pads and disc and the spring clip is back in place, as is the locking pin. my question is has anyone came across this before and if so were the pads ok to run? i assume they will be as the spring clip is still held in place quite fine by the locking pin and they seem well held in place?
