Default Brake pad identification

Looking for replacements for these but don’t know the size

i had them in a box from either a 993 or 996

my car has a big brake kit and I think they are 965

And should my pads be getting a shoulder on them like this or are they too tall? Rotor too small?

I may have found the right part based on dimensions and would be consistent with what I believe is the caliper size

Yes - your rotor/caliper combination doesn't look right. At a minimum you should replace the rotors with wear like that before you bed your new pads. Almost looks like 993 calipers without the appropriate adapters (but I am guessing now).

Those are 964RS/T front also used on 993 f and 993RS/t r

Pagid # 1204, this is for the generic shape you need to also specify which line, PFC # 0594.08.18.44 for Carbon/Metallic race pad

the difference between that and the Bigger Big Red front type isn't the length, it's the width. Also the bigger big red won't have the holes to accomodate a pad puller

I agree. The calipers are early turbo 3.3/RS 48mm pad. The rotors are 94 58mm pad 5/4 hole combo vs the 3.3l 4/3 hole combination rotor, that is why you have an area at the inner part of the braking surface that has no wear just at the lower holes. The adapter you are using is setting the caliper up a bit higher than it should be that is why you have the lip forming on the pad. You can probably have the adapters machined down that amount to set the caliper closer to the hub which would eliminate that. You will need to have your rotors turned to eliminate the uneven surface by the lower holes.
