CPP rear disc question
Is this the normal surface area coverage for rear brakes? Seems awfully small surface coverage.

Re: CPP rear disc question
Looks right.
Rear brakes only do 30% of the braking so no huge Calipers are needed. |

Re: CPP rear disc question
You should have full pad contact.

Re: CPP rear disc question
Definitely not getting full pad contact. How many miles have you driven it? The pads don’t always make even contact right out of the box, but should wear in within a couple of miles.
It looks like the bracket/caliper is a bit too far out (or maybe crooked) but I’m not familiar that particular setup.

Re: CPP rear disc question
I agree, looks like the pad is not making full contact. Do you have any miles on this setup?
Is this the kit? CPP kit

Re: CPP rear disc question
Is the brake pad extending past the rotor any? The picture makes it look that way, but that might not be the case.

Re: CPP rear disc question
Apparently I can't upload pictures now.
However, only the top section of the brakes are touching and the pads do not extend past the rotor. So like previously suggested, the brakes may just have to be "worn in" more. |
