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.  |

Rebel kit fits the 911 parking brake as far as I can tell during mockup. I never got the opportunity to test under load. YMMV
