Pad not completely on rotor...

OldFart · 09-19-2015, 12:17 PM

Put new rotors on, had the calipers redone by Mike and Akebono pads. Don't know if I might of done something wrong, but on the inside of every rotor the pads are not touching it. Just thinking the pad maybe narrowed at that point? Here is a picture of what I am referring to.

I know it looks like crap but its normal. I have the same thing happening with my stoptech rotors.

Thanks for the responses, may have to do something over the winter - just to see if I can maybe paint or use somekind of rust inhibitor on it...
