Guest Mr Walker Guests Posted 10/03/03 12:39 AM Share Posted 10/03/03 12:39 AM Guys,As long as the pad does not sit past the rotor then this isn't an issue. the pad is grabbing the rotor at it outermost point which therefore produces the greatest amount of leverage. Heaps of cars are set up like this. If the hub was a bigger diameter and went right up to the bottom of the rotor then no one would care.I agree that the rears are not upgraded (other than with grooves) for the premium option and this is pretty poor - it's no mistake turbo6man!I thought the rears were the same as the T3's but they're obviously not . Does all of the pad sit on the rotor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to post the pics - hold the phone ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
