So I understand there supposed to be some trimming of the rear pads on the bottom potion.
When I mock up the pad I've already milled on, it looks like I need to go another .100" to .125" more. Did I mess up the install? Top pad is modified, bottom stock.  |

I just went through this a couple weeks ago. Yes, I was surprised at how much material had to be removed. Just about to the pad center material. You have more to remove. Only the inner rear pads needed it on mine.
Overall, I see no problem operating the car this way. QUOTE(Mueller @ Apr 2 2020, 06:56 PM) QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Apr 2 2020, 02:17 PM) non S ?? Yes, standard 986 calipers.
