I initially bought EBC red stuff pads because they listed a pad that would fit our M sport brakes, but they were completely different (this was when there was almost no aftermarket option listed). So when I got these pads I studied them to make sure they looked identical before installation. I believe I paid more attention to overall thickness including pad, but I honestly can't remember that far back and I threw out my OEM pads so I can't compare them now. I'm pretty sure the new pad was identical backing plate thickness or close enough to the naked eye.
