well lads, changed the discs and pads today and found the discs were too small 266mm and there was a lip on the pad as it was wider than the disc, the new discs i got are 283 mm and they fit grand but now there seems to be a few mm near the edge of the dis where the pad is not in contact with it... is this ok or is there a wider pad i should get for it?

the link wont work there man....
but yeah your right, its the 2nd set, i got them today and tried them and they cover all the disc area perfect Yes
its weird cos theres not even 1 mil in the difference of the width but yet it covers alot more of the disc Blink it must just be the slight difference in shape...

Fixed. I know, there doesn't appear to be much difference at first, but it definately does cover more of the disc area
