They supposedly are; they certainly are more expensive.  That's why I really 
don't want to grind them down if I don't have to.  But if I ground about 1/32 
or less off each side they'd probably fit.  It's close, but even tapping with a 
hammer I can't get them to slide on; I just start gouging the pads on the rotor 
edge.
