Has anyone else run across this? Is the manufacturer spec-ing the wrong pads or did the previous (dumbs***) owner of my car put non-abs calipers on it? What differences are there between the two different calipers (abs and non-abs for a 96 s14)?

Whatever, it appears the Wearever Gold and Wagner Ceramic that advance auto parts specs for a 96 s14 se do not fit it, and you for some dumb a** reason have to specify that you don't have abs when you actually do.
Also their site is jacked up badly. I enter my car as a 96 nissan 240sx se, and press the brakes link in their "Top 10 Parts." The search returns Nada.
UM HELLO?!

| well mine's built 9/93 it's a s13 vert labelled as a 94 |
I'm very proud of you, thats a completely different story. On verts it matters whether or not it has ABS. Unfortunately my post had nothing to do with you and shouldnt have been considered as you have a vert and not an S14. Thanks for clearing that up for me sir, couldnt figure out that you had a vert by your vehicle info and your name...BTW, the OP's original question and your issue have nothing to do with eachother... Completely different. I'm sure the OP is happy to see that you have jacked his thread...
BTW, Verts are a different breed of 240sx, not an S13 not an S14, just a convertable. Because you car by your pro date is a 94 (after 6/93) and therefore should be an S14 but it is considered s13 because of the body style.

um how did i thread jack? i didnt ask any questions or anything that may consider jacking it. all i was doin was relating my situation to his,he asked if anyone has had similar issues with brakes so i mentioned the issue i had. i was comparing also to how advance auto sucks at matching part #'s. then later on i was just sayin when mine was built since you said something about 6/94 and up. why do you care so much as to have so much attitude in your post? sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning... and btw it doesnt matter whether or not the vert has abs. obviously you didnt even read what i had wrote. all verts have abs brakes, even if you dont have abs. i later found out they did this because of the few hundred extra lbs you have as a convertible. so get your facts straight before you wanna start bein a dick

| So I'm doing my brakes and the Wearever Gold pads I got don't fit the calipers because they are too long. Strangely the same pads for the non-ABS car seem to fit fine. I have ABS.

At least they're cheap...
