faygun Member 389 Member For: 21y 10m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/11/05 02:10 AM Share Posted 02/11/05 02:10 AM Hey Guys,I have recently changed all my discs to DBA slotted ones and I have got some Ferodo pads. Braking has improved greatly.One thing I have just noticed that , on the rear brakes, the calipers do not go all the way to the hub so when I brake, only 2/3rds or so of the rear discs gets used. is this normal? is this how the stock discs and calipers are as well? I didnt pay attention on how they were before I changed them.Also I have a terrible squeal coming from the back discs. Has anyone experienced the same thing after changing from stock discs to DBA slotted rotors?Cheers, faygun Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21075-stock-rear-calipers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nowhere near the amount of dust compared to the new Ford replacement pads.

You might find the pads on the rear may take a little while to bed in and wear to the rotor so they may seem like they are only biting on half the disk. I had the same thoughts when I installed my rotors and ferodo pads.
