I got new 2014 pads that won't fit in my 2012 Nissan Leaf. Did they change size in 2014? What is the typical brake pad size? 2012: 6.5" total length 2014: 5.5" total length Should I change to the newer brake bracket?

If newer models are using smaller one, I can go with replacing the bracket. I will probably upgrade to 2014+ model eventually, just for the 6.7KW charger vs. 3.7KW.

If newer models are using smaller one, I can go with replacing the bracket. I will probably upgrade to 2014+ model eventually, just for the 6.7KW charger vs. 3.7KW.My question is whether changing to smaller brake pad is industrial wide, or just for EVs or Leaf. EVs can probably go with much smaller pads and still last 100K miles.

He will then have the task of figuring out why *he* erred.
