Sentra brembo problem - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ghost_silvia · 04-08-2012, 07:21 PM

Just took off my wheels and noticed pad contact was off the rotor about a little less than a 1/4". Anybody have any advice? It seems it needs a bracket. Yes I have a 305/12" rotor and oem pads . I've read some of the G20 owners have the same problem but they've said overlapping pads are fine but I refuse to believe that.

I'm currently away from the car I'll get some when I get home.

Sorry late pics. Any suggestions?

The definitely looks like the wrong bracket size. Does the other side do the same thing? I will assume yes, but you never know.

Or you could get bigger rotors!

They are the correct size rotors and yes the other side looks the same. I don't understand what the problem is maybe I'll look into 350z rotors.

Have other people had this problem? I don't know anything about this swap, but form what I've seen at work, the only reason that has happened is because of the wrong size bracket.

Anybody have any other ideas?
