I am going to replace the pads (F and R) on my 05 CTT. I was looking around for pads and saw that some are for 17", 18" and 19". My car was purchased recently and the PO put 22 inch rims so I do not know what the stock rim size was.

I thought that all the brakes were the same on CTT's so I am very confused now. Can anybody point out what I am missing and also what pads to use.

Thanks,
Steve

I like Hawk Dustless.

It does not matter what size rim is on the vehicle. All V8s and Turbo (non S) have the same brakes. Call Jeff @ Sunset Imports in Oregon, I have bought from them few times and really like their price and excellent customer service. Or Suncoast Porsche in Florida, I have not bought from them but they do have competitive prices and better website:

Also, do a search on rear brakes. You need a special tool for the rear, I don't remember the exact size but it was a pretty big triple square bit.

you don't need a tool for the pads only for the rotors

You do need some patience though as you try to get the pin over the spring...

OK 2 tips

1 - go to Sears Hardware and buy a decent punch set, they come in 3's

2 - When you have the pin out, use emory paper or sand paper to clean the accumulated dust build up, when you put it back in it really makes it easier to get over the spring, which you can also compress using a screwdriver to hold it in position until the pin pushes the driver out of the way.

May I ask where you saw this information?

Jeff at Sunset Imports is definitely your friend......

I was playing around on ebay looking at pads and saw that some of the listings were for 17",18"...

I think started looking elsewhere and saw the same thing. I know that ebay is not the best source of info however I wanted to find out the real situation.

Thanks everyone for the info.
