Finally got the correct parts and got the new front pads installed.

So for a 2005 997S you need the 996 TURBO brake pads and sensors. For a regular 2005 997 you need the regular 996 pads. From 2006 on they should be 997 pads.... That's what you get for buying a car the first year !!

Took me about 20 min per wheel to replace the front pads, sensors and damper plates. Not bad and probably saved $500 in labor !

Happy to answer any questions if you're doing a brake job !
