Yes, they're technically speaking called guides, not pads. I find that by calling them by the proper and more commonly understood name people understand the importance a lot better.

They're way more now, unfortunately, try $300-400. I have been trying to find a cheaper source for them, from Germany, but not from Porsche directly.

Better solution now, you can cut the ends off your old lines and reveal barb fittings underneath, order some 100% ethanol proof Cohline 2240 in 7mm ID from Bel-Metric with proper smooth injection clamps and you can replace them for much cheaper.
I am going to be getting rid of my AN lines, I do not like them because possible leak points are doubled, and with raw rubber it's easier to observe for deterioration..
