So I've searched this every way I can think of and have come up with nothing.

I picked up an s13 for an autocross toy and I need some good brake pads. Everything I find says that they are for 89-94 cars with ABS. Is there really a difference b/t the pads on a non-ABS car and an ABS s13? The only decent pads I can find for the non ABS car are Hawk HP+ and I have not been impressed at all with them in the past so I'm trying to find some other option.

And don't tell me to upgrade to z32, q45 etc... As much as I would love to, It's not allowed in the class I'm going to be running in.

Thanks for the help, i was looking in the wrong places. Google shopping results pointed me the right way. Ended up finding some EBC yellow's and some porterfields now I just need to pick one.

Why don't you like the HP+? I love mine, they kick the shit out of the GREX and Project Mu pads I had before.

To answer your question though, front ABS pads are slightly larger than non ABS pads for the S13 chassis. They're also the same size as the convertible models.
