Hi guys, wondering if you could offer some help/advice.
I bought brembo pads the other week (from the link below which I know people on here bought from too) but when I went to fit them they seemed too tall to fit in the caliper if that makes sense? I'm just checking I'm not doing anything stupid before I send them back. They were only ever so slightly too tall so I spent ages filing down the top and bottom of the pad and eventually with some great force got them in the caliper. I then realized that this wouldn't work since the disc pretty much wouldn't move when the caliper went back over, I also had to sand down a bit of the pads to get them to squeeze over the disc.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or am I doing something stupidly wrong? I've checked the part number on the box and its definitely right so my only though would be that its the wrong pads in the box?
