Your car will have 288mm being a AGG 96.

Quick check, if you have a anti-rattle spring on the front of the caliper then its 288mm.

In simple terms if you got a metal clip thing on the caliper u should see it as soon as you take the wheel off it is 288

Dont go by word of mouth, check yourself!
Made that mistake and had to send the pads back!

Mine were 288mm and its a 96 but EBC sent me the pads for 280's :(
