why do the recent act1273 brake pads look smaller in size and different on the edges from previous ones?

These pads are designed & engineered to fit specific vehicles. They would not be made smaller as that would create a safety issue as well as open up the manufacturer to liability lawsuits in case of of accidents due to product failure or flawed engineering design.

If you are just going off of the picture I suppose that may be a concern, given that the picture doesn't always do the product justice. I just replaced the brakes in my 2010 Volkswagen Routan with these and so far, I've had no issues whatsoever.

No idea, but there was a pretty good YouTube video that I checked out about the install. Maybe from that you can compare. Should also be able to check via AutoZone, Advanced, etc. It took me more time to find my floor jack than it did to install the new pads. Very happy with them so far.

From what I can tell, there are two versions, a standard, and Metric. I ordered the SAE (Standard) size, and that is what I got. I wonder if they aren't using the same stock picture for both.

I have the 2012 model so I'm not sure how much has changed. But I am slightly disappointed with the mats - I feel like the driver side is a little on the small side. And I have to move the mat on the passenger side - they tend to move. At the time that I purchased mine they were the only mats available.

Look at the dimensions & compare to the original mats. I don't know if theat size changed with the car year models.

looks like the wheel size is different. My Dad has the blue and we have had issues with the brakes.... 5 months in, the cable broke and replacement was a difficult fix with expensive parts...

Yessir. Mine is 93 dx hatch non abs. The difference is noticeable when you brake hard. You can feel the ceramic pads grab better.

It is a good practice to resurface when you installing new pads, I usually forgo the resurface if the rotors wared evenly.(make sure you still have enough minimum thickness requirement and no warpping)

I just replaced the brakes and kept the old hand levers. The previous brakes were the same model (plastic spring covers had broken).

Not sure, but could be the shape of the bowls. I would suggest you measure your current beater and compare those measurements to the side swipe measurements. I love mine.

The new model (late-2013) is slimmer than the old measuring 18mm as compared to the 19mm seen in the previous edition (late-2012). Hopefully the manufacturer will respond.

Check with the dealer but I believe everything from 2013 and newer has a different style of TPMS sensor such that there is no sensor in the wheel

I cannot say if there is a difference in parts, but I also have inground gunite pool. I purchased these and were nearly identical to the orginal foot pad on my G3. The biggest difference is these seemed to fit better.

I have to know the number of the orig / or the pad installed. Once you can identify the pad , you check the 'BENDIX' of 'FERODO' catalogue and find the exact match. They have pictures, drawings, and exact size listings, to identify the pad. Then get the equivalent 'Akebono' pad set. There are cross reference numbers to help as well. The 2006 E-350 could be in the 1st generation of WBD-211 vehicles. The 2007 I have is the 'Facelift' model , which did have a few changes. AMG sports packages generally uprate the brakes to larger units. Regards. Geoff.

Not sure. Maybe...because the new one did seem to fit more secure. I was very happy that it looked as good or better than the original. I think the new one even was a heavier/more dense plastic. I would recommend it.

My ACT924 has the same - ACT562H FF printed on the pad. You've got the right pad. You will love these brake pads.
