Help required with 964 brakes

[websnake]

I´ve just recieved a delivery of Pagid brake pads for my rear wheels. Unfortunately they did not fit - they looked exactly the same as my front pad does...When I told the company who sold me the pads this, they kept telling me that a 1992 Carrera 2 (964) should have the same pads front/rear. My rear callipers are quite smaller - Why? Did Porsche change to the bigger callipers in the middle of the production-year or what? Help me out, guys!

I just checked the link to the on-line catalog. It clearly states that the Carrera 2 1992-1994 has the same pads as the C4 1989-1994....Or am I getting it all wrong?According to the list, 1990-1991 should have the smaller ones, but since my car is a C2 1992, they should be the bigger type??Confusing? You bet, pls help me out,

Jack Olsen just told me that Bill Verburg (and others) could help me out...Can you??

According to the books the change to larger 4 piston calipers in the back, using the same pads as the front occured at the end of 91, apparantly yours did not get the upgraded brakes.

the oem part # front for all C2/4 89-91 is 964.351.939.02

for 90-91 C2 the oem part # rear is 964.352.949.01

for 92-94 all including turbo and RS it should be 964.351.939.02

You can easily identify the caliper by pistons is it 4 like in the front or only 2(much smaller)
