Brake Pads: will "A" caliper pads fit...
will pads for "A" caliper fit an "S" caliper, and vice-versa?

Bob,
Yes to first question, and a note that most after market pads listed ... show the same replacement set for both caliper sets! No to second question, if you compare OEM Ate pads in the Porsche boxes! The true 'S' pads are 3 mm thicker, and hence won't fit if the rotor is new or still within spec!

Thanks Warren - that's what I thought, but needed confirmation. Do you happen thickness for either?
Bob PS: I used to have a Barracuda, too - '64 273/4gear.

Each manufacturer ghas their own spec for those pads. The factory spec is 10mm for the A and 13mm for the S.
Current Pagid spec is 15mm for a sport pad and 19mm for a normal pad.
