Rear pads are just slightly smaller on a base car. Some do this to move the brake bias slightly aft. Some just get the wrong part delivered and don't notice the difference. You will need new rotors if you want to run new std front pads.

yeah thats what im think too. Replace it all once they are 75% gone. Just couldnt figure out why. I would think they just got the wrong part number. Everything is good so far. Had it about 5 months. Did the clutch and some other things. Runs good so far. Fun car.
