08 vs. 09

Post by mr.clutch »

I was on the Autozone site looking at front brake pads and hardware for my 08 today. When looking at the pads for it they had two different sets avail. 1 for Jan 08 and before & 1 for Feb 08 and later. Mine being 09/07 I was the first set. BUT... That raised a question to me???? Was there a change on 08 front brakes or was that the change over from 08 ( the fewest & best year of vibes) to the 09 model year? SO all you 08 and 09 owners what was the build date newest 08 vs. oldest 09

These parts places have more ways of confusing you :x They merely should simply stick to the model year and NOT when the car was built. Is it a 2008 Vibe or a 2009 Vibe. How much simpler can it be :roll:
