I've ordered 4 different brands of FRONT brake pads (which BTW are not easy to find) and I've sent all of them back because they are thinner (16 mm) than what I am replacing (18mm). My first pair, from Bosche, were half as thick. One was a millimeter too wide (62 rather than 61) and didn't fit in the space.
I'm tired of burning all these shipping costs. Are these okay that they are thinner than the what was in there prior? (See Photo) Left is new pad. Right is the old one. Attached thumbnail(s)
