Thoughts? |

I believe the clearance will track with the pad wear. |

The 914 rears do not self adjust at all, so you need to re-adjust them every 6 months or at the start of every driving season. As the pads wear, the calipers have to push them farther to get to the rotor, until they just don't work at all. Zach |

You DO NOT have to periodically readjust them. The Cap'n |
