About a year ago i bought some break pads online and had issues with their fitament. The problem was that when i put the new pads in, it wouldn't fit back on the rotor. Yes i did push the piston back as far as it could go so thats not an issue. The piston side pad is actually inside the caliper so it's not sticking out at all. The problem is on the outboard. I'm realatively positive that it's in right, but the caliper just won't fit back on.

I figured this to be a problem with the pads themselves so i went online again and bought some EBC greena and i'm having the same problem!

Any ideas?

Here are the pads themselves (Click for larger pics)


Thanks:)

Look fine to me (except for the horrible application of paint...)

You do know our calipers swing out of the way and the pads get inserted into the bracket and the caliper swings back down over them, right?

Yeah, i'm a huge dumbass..
Got em in. I'm glad i took time to do it because the slide on the pass caliper was frozen completely and i had to smack it around and grease it up. No more pulling to the left woo!

The brakes feel significantly stronger too.

Thx.
