Brake pads don't fit...

So I bought the AXXIS ultimates for my car a few weeks ago and finally went to install them today. My car is an 03 but it was built in June of 02. I ordered them from stoptech.com and according to their website I was supposed to order the ones for the 02 and that is what I did. They do not fit though. The notch on the side is way too big to fit in...very upsetting. I have a feeling that they sent me the ones for the 03.

Does anyone have any advice???

Call Stoptech and tell them what happened. I'm sure they will want to take care of it.

MY03 brackets are not the same as MY02. That is why your pads do not fit. MY02RSs have the same brackets as MY03 WRXs. I know that Axxis has not made anything for the MY03 WRXs.
