Okay....so it seems I am right. Lithia must have put a newer 2003 caliper on my car.

Quote:
2003 owners, you know we have "ears". Just look at the parton the caliper that holds the pads. To verify that you have 2003 front pads check the width of the "ears" on your rear brake pads and compare them to the tabs on your front brake pads. On the 2003 WRX's the ears on the fron and back are bothe 3/8"

The problem is the width of these ears. 2002 WRX's used 1/2" ears and 2003 used smaller 3/8" ears. If front tabs are 1/2" then pads will not fit your 2003 WRX
My left caliper is 3/8 and my right front is 1/2. So I gatta put a call in to Scott on Monday to get this fixed.

DAMN!
