Hi all,

Put some nice new discs on at the weekend :-

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=433986

But today i noticed it looks like their rubbing or something:-



Can see the difference in shade where it looks like its rubbing, just wondered if this is normal or if ive done something wrong on the installation?

Looks like uneven wear where the pads aren't mating the surface correctly. Did you put the caliper retaining spring clips on correctly?

Did you replace the pads?

The pads are the current ones so haven't replaced them yet. 2BH i didn't touch the pads as in take them out etc but am buying new pads in the next day or so from DaveA.

I did notice the pads were uneven in wear though, so this could be the problem?

You should ALWAYS change the pads when changing discs.
