Unless another company is making replacement pads for the kits, you might be screwed. You can try to contact Bendix and see if maybe you can get some custom pads made up, or if they make a set that will fit into your calipers as designed.
They're an Australian company, so account for time changes if you intend to call them.

Looking at your sig. You might have a hard time selling the Brembos after this thread.

Try calling Brake Pros(Owned by Stillen) in Santa Ana,Ca. They used my Evo X to get measurements for my brembos. They manufacture a lot of pads for companies. They are also the sister company known as tubular solutions that make 70% of all sway bars.

Here is the website. http://www.brake-pros.com/browse.asp?c=BR&s=PADS

If you have any issues hit me up. My buddy is the chief engineer over there. I can email him if you cant find what you are looking for.
