I just ordered some new brake pads for my car but the new pads are different.

On Pelican’s web site they have photos under more than on brand that look just like the ones new one pictured below including the Genuine Porsche.

The actual pad material is the same size and the pin holes line up. Can anyone verify if these are the correct pads? If so why were changed and are they any better?

These are the new ones.

And these are what my old ones look like.

Your old pads look like the Porsche Performance pads, which should have PN#s 996.351.930.30 and 996.352.930.30.

Your new ones looks like the stock pads that have the round metal thingie, which I guess are for damping vibrations.

The photos are off Pelicanparts.com not my actual pads. The thing is; a year or so ago I was in the market for some new pads and they all look like the old picture even the Pagid Orange I bought for the track and the BHP pads I bought for daily driving.

I’m concerned about them fitting. I was also wondering what the purpose of those round metal thingies serve as they will outside of the calipers.

They will fit your car. Porsche upgraded their pads with the round balancers. I went thru the same thing....I purchased an original Porsche front brake pads for my 99 and they came with those round balancers. I had to call my dealer and they explained it to me....It is a Porsche upgrade.

Good Luck....brake jobs are easy...
