997 c2 cab non -s my06 brake pad problem

hi all,well here we go.i ordered brake pads from preformace products website for my c2 cab..i take the pads to my brake guy.when he removes the old pads and looks at the new ones he tells me i got the wrong pads.the sensors wont fit in the new ones and worse yet the clip that holds the pads in place will not fit either..i call prefomance products from his shop..i give the part number and tell them my06 c2 non s cab,they tell its the wright pad. am a little pissed at this point ,so my brake guy says he can order me the pads and sensors for the same price.and i can get them there in an hour.i say ok and figure i will deal with the return of the other pads later.ok wait for it! the pads get there and low and behold they are the same pads that preformance products sent me.now i am really not pleased..he puts my car back together and i guess i have to go to my dealer and find out what the deal is with this "special brake pads" i have. i am attaching a pic of the 2 diifernt pads...the old one is on the left the new on the right and the clip that does not work in the top left corner..any thoughts our ideas would be great ..thanks in advance

Re: 997 c2 cab non -s my06 brake pad problem

hi bstew, well i got the wright pads from the dealer ...from what the part guy tells me porsche decided in its "wisdom" to change pads mid year for the o6 c2 non-s ,the pads on the right of my earlier pic at the ones for 05 to mid 06.the new pads on the left or 06 -07 my...so thats why everyone was giving me the other pads.so make sure for 06my you definately have to use the vin number to find out which pads you have.

I have had similar problems with that company. Often their application information is incorrect.
