Are these the correct pad dimensions for a 2003 Cup Car?
Can anyone confirm these pads fit the stock calipers?

Thanks!

The rear pad is absolutely correct for the 996 Cup Car.
The front pad will fit the caliper
Fine and you can use it with any 350mm that fits the 996 Cup but it may not be the ideal pad for the car. The 7819 pad shape was made for performance Friction rotors with a swept area of only 60 mm. The stock swept area is 66 mm. Why you would want to reduce the rotor to pad contact patch is beyond me but this is what they have done. Stands to reason more brake pad to rotor contact will give better braking.
The correct PFC pad shape for this car is P/n 0991.08.17.44. This pad shape is only available in 08 compound not 11. This is mirror image of Pagid 2707.

I'm getting confused here. Just checked your site:
http://www.apexperformance.net/prod-2128.htm
This is the 7819 shape. It has a 66mm swept area.
http://www.apexperformance.net/prod-2448.htm
This is the 0991 shape. Also has a 66m swept area.

If this is what my site says it is incorrect. 7819 swept area is 60mm and 0991 swept area is 66mm. Many many more cars with stock size rotors needing the 0991 pad.

I see. The local seller told me I needed 7819 but I changed my order to 0991.
I had exactly the same once when ordering PFC pads for my 997 street car. Ended up with pads that didn't cover the entire rotor surface.
Thanks for making sure I don't have the same issue again!

Unfortunately PFC has sort of "brainwahed" the resellers that their 7819 pad
fits all GT3s. Although it goes in the caliperOK... proper fitment is dependent upon what rotor you are running.
