I've ordered 2 sets of rear brake pads from 2 sources. Autozone and IDParts. Both were spec'd for the 2015 NMS/B7, but neither fit. I wrote off the Autozone ones as "Cheap knockoffs" when they didnt fit, but I'm surprised that the ID parts ones didnt fit and it made me think there was a mid-year change in Caliper sizes.
On both, the "ears" at the top of the pads were too wide to fit in the caliper.
Does anyone know if the 2015 had a mid-year change in production to a different caliper? I've seen something about a 253 mm rotor being used in earlier B7's, but the spec for my year should be a 272 mm.
Has Anyone else experienced this issue?
