So im doing a 5 lug swap and figured hey while im in there since we getting new 5 lug rotors lets do pads as well!
So i shimmy on down to autozone thatbwas a zillion miles away because they were the only one that had non abs s13 brake pads. Pick em up, drive home, pull the caliper and find this

The pads i just bought, are significantly shorter than the ones that just came off. Im super confused. As far as i know the car has the oem s13 calipers, so why are the pads so short? Am i missing something? Please let me know if you know whats going on because a car with the front calipers just sitting there padless doesnt do me any good
