Need some help/advice here please.
Bought the Club Racer front brake pads for DC5 as I used HC800 previously.
However, after same procedure pressing 4-pot piston back, the new pads cannot even fit it.
Then used my digital calliper to measure, and found the Club Racer pads are thicker the max space/gap.
After that I research, the part number the supplier sold is " PCR09F206" , while other countries reseller sold " PCR09F306" to Honda DC5 Type-R''s stock Brembo caliper use.
Contacted the supplier, they said no other buyers report issue but admit that the pads are thicker than others.
I want to change back using HC800 pads but a 4-5 weeks lead time is required, where I cannot prepare my booked track day event.
Supplier suggest finding a machine shop to grind/cut the pads, but I really have no idea whether it is common practice.
Please advice what you could do if you were in my situation now. Thanks!
