Default Brake Pad size comparison (CTS V and Stock)

Pull the pads off my TA during my brake swap. I had a set of both 4 and 6 piston CTS V brake pads and the stock TA brakes for comparison to give people an idea of how much brake area each pad covers on the rotors.

those cts-v 4 piston pads have to be for the rear because mine do not look like that at all.

Those are the ones the company sent me. They sent me the 4 piston instead of the 6 piston, but knowing that company they sent the wrong pad completely, but the size should be about the same. If you have a differ photo you can send it to me.

I never took a picture of the pads when I did the cts-v front caliper swap on my pile. Here is a pic of an ls1 camaro and cts-v1(bottom) pad from another thread. You probably got the base model cts pads by mistake.

Default CTS-V 4 piston Brembo pads

The bottom pad in the picture is identical to my 2005 CTS-V 4 piston Brembo fronts.
