Brake pad size for sport-suspension '05?

Hey guys, I know this is bad etiquette to post something that I already posted in another subforum (hey, at least I'm admitting to it), but this is kinda urgent since I need to get the work done this weekend! Anyway, I need to get my front brakes changed out, but when I go to the AutoZone website or store, or even the Hawk website, only one size of front brake pads comes up. They both don't give the ability to specify "sport" or "non-sport". Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that 04-08's with the Sport suspension and 18" wheels have "larger front brakes"...Is this true or is the assembly just bigger but the pad size the same? ....Thanks!

This link will answer your question: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...Brake+pad+size

If you have a MT, there is only one size, unless you have larger aftermarket rotors and whatnot.
